Well, if you blew fuses, you need to replace them.

If that doesn't fix things, you might have also burned up wires, diodes, or computer circuits when you reversed your battery. Fixing things like that will require replacement of damaged parts.

Before you go any further check to make sure you haven't cooked the battery off. this can happen in a flash. take it back out and go to the auto parts store and have it tested. Then go to the fuses, both under the dash and in the engine compartment. Change out any that are blown and pull your relays to make sure you did not cook off a terminal on one of them. Put them back when you are done checking. relays are fairly sturdy and if you haven't cooked off a terminal then they are probably OK. (Not guaranteed just probably). I think it's more than likely that you cooked off a cell in the battery itself. basically you shorted out the battery.
