I was trying jump my flat battery with another car for some reasons I swapped battery terminals on my car. After starting the second car the idling was not normal (sounding very weak) minutes later I realised that battery terminals are swapped. Now the starting not working but it can still do other operations like looking doors, playing radio, ect. What could have be damaged?

Test all your maxi-fuses and fusible links. You could have also fried any number of computers in the system too.

Here is a guide that will help
