Default civic 2012 - jump start wrong terminal - changed main fuse

hi Guys,

recently my car was dead and I called a friend to do a jump start, and I did it wrong. (his car had no mentioned which is + and -). So my main fuse was blown (70- 100 AMP). I changed my main fuse however still not power, no lights, nothing.

I called another friend with same honda civic and charge battery for like 10 minutes. and Now I have got my power back, lights and horns are working. However I can see pretty much all the hazard lights. (ABC, battery, etc..) And can't start the car.

what should I check, seems like another fuses have been blown.

If you are lucky it will only be a damaged fused. Worst case scenario is that you might have damaged the ECU since you essentially put 24v into a 12v system. In my limited experience, when ALL of the lights come on your dashboard it means there is an issue with the ECU.
