1992 Lexus gs300 battery hooked up backwards -.- Sign In

HUGE ROOKIE MISTAKE. I'm in way over my head now. i just did the head gasket and timing belt on the car was rushing went to hook up the battery and hooked it up backwards.. Yes i know the possible damages but anyone help me with where to start and look for..

How do i know if a fusible link is bad? i didn't see any smoking but it is kinda soft.
Alt fuse fried.
radio fuse fried

Replaced the radio fuse but the radio still no power to it. I have to wait for tomorrow to get to a parts store for the other fuses i found blown..


Any help at all would be great!

Start at the power distribution box and test every one of the maxi-fuses. It's hard to tell by just looking at them. You may have fried some modules too.
