Jumped battery wrong...

Ill save everyone the trouble and just say that i am a giant ******* moron

I have one of those little things that you can charge and jump your car off of. I wont beat around the bush, I connected it in a circuit(neg to neg and pos to pos)

I got a jump from another guy and it started fine. Everything works except for the interior map lights and my head unit. I looked at the fuses and they dont look blown. Did I fry that stuff or is there something else I fucked up?

you fried a fuse. i think it's the one that says "ROOM 7.5A" for some reason everytime i do a modification/check-up that's the fuse that seems to blow. instead of using the 7.5A fuses i use 10A. lasts longer.

ya, my friend came over and was a dumbass and tried to recharge my battery...put negative onto positive and vice versa...

battery got really hot, and wound up killing it
that and somehow it exhausted the main fuse and blew it :-(
