1995 Mazda Protege mileage: 72,000. This is embarrassing. When I went to jumpstart my wife's car, I accidentally hooked up the cable wrong. This resulted in cross polarity, which melted the negative battery terminal right off the "bad" battery. I've had a new battery and battery terminal installed and the car seems to be running fine. However, the radio no longer works. I've checked the radio fuse in the fuse box, and it is fine. Is there anything else I can check or did I fry my radio during the cross polarity?
