    I installed a battery in backwards like a idiot and blew the 100amp fuse and
    my headlights wont come on. i replaced the fuse but the headlights still dont
    work. i checked the voltage at the bulbs and theirs nothing. am i overlooking
    something? if its a fuse i cant find it. any help would be great. thank you.

  2. You may have fried the headlight relay.

    Will the car even start? Do the other accessories work (radio, fan,
    heat, A/C, power windows, power mirrors, rear defroster, etc.)? If not,
    that may indicate a problem with the ETACS computer.

    Did you check the normal fuse in the fusebox ?

    You'll need to check all your fuses. In many cases, more than one blows.
    Rarely does this cause an issue beyond blown fuses.
