Default Battery Installed wrong

Acura RL 2004

Question
Hi, I purchased a new replacement battery from pep boys for a 04 Acura, they gave me the wrong one, the terminals were opposite. When I put it in the cables didn't fit and it sparked. Well, finally I have the correct battery, but now the car is completely DEAD. The bell doesn't ring when I put the key in, AND I can't even put the car in Neutral to push it. What could have happened?

If the issue is a blown fuse is it very difficult to remove & replace it?
Thanks for your time,

i did this on my old accord before and all that was required to replace the battery fuse under the hood. very easy install. as stated above, u might want to go to Acura to order this. when i got mine from autozone, it wasn't the right size.
