Battery issues even after main fuse replacement

Battery issues even after main fuse replacement
My battery was dead so I swapped my spare rx7 battery in and it had corrosion over the markings and I accidentally hooked it up backwards for a second. I smelt smoke and quickly disconnected it but now the electrical system is just going crazy. I replaced the main fuse and the alarm goes off when I turn the key.

My 8 does that a lot if I disconnect the battery for an extended period of time (like storing for the winter).
I always remove the HORN fuse so I don't ****-off the neighbors as the alarm is going off.
And I usually have to play this crazy dance where I turn the ignition to 'ON', turn it back off, remove the key, lock the doors (with the keyfob), then unlock the doors...
Eventually I manage to satisfy the alarm and the hazard lights quit flashing (meaning the alarm isn't going off anymore) and I can re-install the fuse for the horn.

Have you checked the fuses in the kick panel inside the car?
The 15A ROOM fuse is a focus based on what you've mentioned thus far.
Many devices go off this fuse, such as the radio, instrument cluster, and keyless control module just to name a few.

Unfortunately, one of the circuits supplied by 'roomie' is the ECU, you may need a new computer to fully solve the prob.
Hooking it up backwards will do that.
I'd be tempted to increase the fuse to a twenty amp (stock is ten, not fifteen) but I'm impetuous and do dangerous stuff like that.....

Are you sure about that buddy...
Shoot!
You're right, J!
I've been telling people ten for the last eight years!
My excuse is I was thinking of the two ECU supply fuses, 10 amps. underhood.
...yeah, supply fuses, that's the ticket!
