boost gone bad, 98 Forester

Cables to boost vehicle ended up getting connected wrong.Vehicle now does not want to crank over.Would there be fusable links or just some blown fuses that would protect the computer and electrical system from such an incident?Any idea where these could be??Assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Re: boost gone bad, 98 Forester

Is there visible damage to the battery itself from the faulty jump? Have you tried a new battery regardless? What does happen when you try to turn it over?
