I accidently hooked up positive to negative and vise versa because i was in a rush. Only for like a second i noticed it sparked more then usual then noticed, FUCK. Only for like a second, now nothing works. 😢 Car starts but nothing else works tach, light ect. I hope its just a burnt fuse or something (prays).
Can anyone help me out what can be the fix
trying to get my car on the road now this ☹

it was the 100a fuse, In engine bay. Now this fuse dosent have a latch so u can easily pull out, Like the other same type fuses and its a bitch to pull out for some reason i shattered it trying to pull it out? is it just a pullout fuse or is thier some kind of latch wtf this is pissing me off.
the thing just got crushed when i tried pulling it out?
it is just a pullout fuse? i dont know why its being a bitch and wont come out
