Hooked up the battery terminals wrong. What do I do now?

    For a 1999 4runner limited 5spd

    So someone went to replace my battery and ended up putting the terminals on backwards....
    And let it sit for hours before noticing and disconnecting. Now a few of the interior lights will work but it wont turn over.

    Im going through it trying to check all my bases. I already replaced all of the fuses that were blown, thinking about checking the starter relay.

    Any ideas would be really helpful thanks!

    If your lucky you popped some fuses, if you replace them it might work. Otherwise it could be any number of things.
