Hi, I Was Installing A New Battery To My 88 Corolla, When I Accidently Mixed Up The Negative And Positive Battery Cables To The Battery Itself. The Positive On The Car Went To The Negative On The Battery And The Negative On The Car Went To The Positive On The Battery. Some Sparks Were Made But Nothing Else. Now My Car Doesn't Start At All. No Crank Just Dead. I Think A Might Have Blown A Fuse? But Which One? Anyone Out There Have Any Suggestions?? Thanks!!!

I did this once before as well to my 90 Rolla. On mine there is a fusible link on the positive cable. It looks like a fuse block with 3 "fuses" in the top. You have to unbolt these fuses from that block. Pull off the sides to get to the bolts. You can buy replacements at Autozone for a couple of bucks. Mine blew the 100 amp fusible link. Take yor old one with you.
Hope that helps
