Toyota Repair: Reverse Jumpstart, cd mp3 player, toyota camry


Question
Hello Tim,

I need your help with something I experienced. My car battery died and I called in a technician to jumpstart it. He tried to connect the incorrect polarity (reverse jumpstart) but then corrected it. This blew off the max fuse which I replaced but now the CD\MP3 player is no longer working. Isn't the max fuse supposed to protect everything?

Is it also true that I should expect more electrical problems in the future?

Thanks Rahul

Answer
When the battery is jumpstarted and connected backwards the 100 Amp alternator fuse will blow along with some of the other smaller fuses so I suggest that you check all the other fuses including the ones under the hood, check them with the power on(key on) and with either a test light or a voltmeter.
