Default Car wont start after battery died.

So i was at work and left my key in the ingnition and turned to the right while i was at work for 8 hours. i come back and notice this and my battery is dead. so i have a guy come use his jump box and he was dumb i think and would not listen to me when i tried to tell him that he was putting neg on pos and pos on neg. after a second of him trying and it not working and me yelling at him he switched it and noticed he was wrong. after that we had it all hooked up right and lights worked and the dash light worked showing my door was open. but nothing else would work. try to lock/unlock the door just hear a click from the left of the steering wheel but doors would not lock. tried to roll window down didnt work. car wont crank and all that works is lights. headlights work the lights by my feet work dash light works but nothing else. car wont start and idk what to do.... anyone plz help need to try and get this fixed asap.

have u checked to see if you blew any fuses. IDK if this is possible but you might have fried some boards when the voltage went the wrong way.

You dont need a fuse diagram to replace fuses. Reason being, you want all your stuff to work, ie you want all your fuses to not be broken.

Get some needle-nose pliers or equivalent and pull them out and replace if bad one at a time. Theyre see-through, basically if they're blown the wire inside will not be constant, the wire will be 2 pieces and wont be making a connection. Just replace the bad ones this way, Id hit up autozone to buy them all. or whatever auto store you're around.

Found my 105A fuse was blown. Would this cause the car to not start since it is for the alternator even tho I had jumper cables hooked on from another car?

yes its will cause your car not to start, i know from personal experience. and chances are the replacement fuse you have to buy wont be a perfect fit. your going to need a dremeling tool to grind the middle of the fuse legs to match the one that blew. or you can buy the oem fuse from the stealership

whatever you do dont replace the radio fuse with a high amp, youll be asking for burning wires, harnesses, and magic white smoke
