I tried to jump start this car but got the cables crossed -- negative to positive and positive to negative. Now all is dead. I took the battery out to see if it is beyond repair. What else can be done to fix this? Would relay switches need to be replaced in addition to fuses and the battery?

There should be a lot of blown fuses. Check under the hood and inside in front of the brake pedal.
