Fitted battery wrong way round
I've just fitted a Odyssey PC680 battery with brass terminals to my 2003 WRX and realised after the car wouldn't start that the terminals are the opposite way around to the battery I took off!
The Slow Blow main fuse is blown but is there a chance something else might be knacked?

Will a 95 legacy have the same fail safes?

Got a fuse ordered from europarts, they aren't easy to find.

******* Europarts told me they'd have one in by Monday morning, but noooo!
Anyway after trying 10 car part companies and the Subaru dealership I ended up at my local scrap yard who only had one Jap car there, luckily the ****** had an 80 amp screw down slow blow PAL fuse!!!
Anyway I've fitted the fuse and the damage is.....
....Radio doesn't work
I didn't just fit the battery the wrong way around I also tried to jump start the car whilst it was still on the wrong way around!! Very lucky!
