Electrical problem
1997 Nissan Quest 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 170k miles

While replacing the battery in my Nissan Quest, I mistakenly hooked the positive lead to the negative. Now the only thing that works are the headlights. Have I completely destroyed the electrical system? Can it be repaired?
