Over the years I've installed and connected numerous car batteries. I've never reversed the cables accidently until yesterday on a 93 Camry 4 cylinder at.

The car wouldn't turn over before the oops and wouldn't turn over after- pretty much the same. What fuse/relay/link would I have melted by installing the battery backwards for this car for about half a millisecond? I checked all the fuses in the block under the hood I could find and the only one fried was the dome light. After replacing no change in starting status. Any idea where else to look?

there is a 120 amp big fuse either on the end of the positive cable or at the fuse box. start there. if your lucky, thats all that blew without killing any modules.
