So you check all the fuses inside the car and plus all the fuseable links?Usually when you hook up cables backwards you blow fuses and fuseable links.

I just saw what year your car was and my online data repair manuals dont go back that far.Do you have a wire diagram for the car?If you did and posted it or emailed it to me i would be more then happy to help you trace the problem down.Its really hard without a wire diagram especailly over the internet figuring this issue out.
