Car wont start electronic mistake

Hey, Im kinda new in this car thing, I just bough my rx8 4 months ago and put it in my garage for the winter. now with this weather and temperature, I wanted to start my car for the first time, but I kinda mess up the battery pole positive and negative and mixed them... now dont wanna crank or just have no electricity... the battery is fine, all fuses and relays are good... but doesnt start ! I can bypass it if I charge pos the "after fusebox" and it start like normal ! but if I stall it stops like doesnt want to crank. can someone have diagrams, tips, solutions etc. to helping me ! I kinda dont wanna pay like more than 300-400 dollars for getting my car repaired just for a stupid mistake !

if you want the video where I explain and show you what is happening, just ask for it

have a good day :3

when normal !

when bypass the fusebox

Sounds like you could have fried something in the fuse box.

Likely blew the main fuse. It's just below where you tapped into the fuse box with the big clamp

You have to undo the bolts and remove it.

If the fuse blew than It did what it's supposed to. Nothing else should be wrong.
