Default Imteriur elctrical problem

Hi guys

2 weeks ago i helped some one jump-starting his car, only the damn Idiot hooked up the cables wrong and blown out my main fuse

So i had to replace my Main fuse to get my car running again, that was a small 5 min job and my car was running again.
But that wasn't a big problem, the problem i have now is even do my car is running a big part of the interior electrical system issent working anymore

Door/interior light, clock, day driving km/mile counter doesn't hold memory anymore, door/alarm remote, radio, glove compartment.

I looked in both fuse boxes and cant find any fuse that's blown, dose any one got a idee ware to look now.
Next week when i come back from work i going to test all fuses maybe i missed something, but i don't think so

Check the ALT 100amp fuse under your hood..I can guarantee that fuse blew and you have to get it from the dealer.It cost about $15-20 and takes about 30 minutes to replace..let me know if thats the problem..

Check the 10amp "Dome" fuse in the engine compartment everything you mentioned runs through that fuse. Even if it doesn't look blown swap it anyway
