I reversed the polarity of trying to start the car with another battery and after I realized that I put the wrong polarity, the car does not start. I checked if the fuses are blown and I found none, everything is functional but can not start the car, please help

we have no info on this car however see if you have a maxi fuse by the battery it will be oblong it tries to protect the system for these occurances . also check for fusible links they are wires that melt on purpose for same reason. both shold be available at auto parts.
