Accidently did a reverse polarity jump start on my 2011 Accent, now it turns over but won't start?

I hope there's a fuse that protects against this common mistake, anybody know if there is and where it is? The car turns over fine, but just won't start. The cables were hooked up correctly on the donor vehicle, but reversed on my Hyundai. No smoke or anything, but the cables got hot and I tried to crank it a couple times before I realized the mistake.

Run the fault codes but a fried ECM and alternator are distinct possibilities

Can't locate a wiring diagram, but probably did blow a fuse. Use a test light and check all fuses in the under hood power distribution center, or junction block or fuse/relay block, or whatever it is called-the fuse block under the hood.
Watch you tube video to see how to check fuses with test light. You do not need to pull fuse out to check. Just probe both ends of the fuse (in the little slot at top ends of the fuses). If test light lights up at both ends of the fuse-that fuse is good, so move to next fuse. Any fuse that only lights a fuse on one end means that fuse is blown. Key switch must be in on position so that all fuses have power to them. You may have blown one or more of the maxi fuses that protect the alternator or electronic components. Just hope it was only a fuse and not the alternator or the engine computer. But fuses should protect those parts.

Your mistake is going to cost you. The reverse polarity has burned out some critical circuits in your Hyundai - maybe the computer!

SOURCE: car will not go in reverse!

Have you changed your transmission fluid? I am assuming that it is automatic.Could be low on transmission fluid. Could also be filters in you tranny stopped up with slug/ gear shivers.Could also be band
in transmission needs adjusting.

SOURCE: Squealing noise when in reverse

Is the noise under the hood? or where?

If under the hood, most likely the engine has a bad motor mount. The engine will "twist" slightly to one direction when driving forward and "twist" in the opposite direction when you drive in reverse.

When it is twisted (in reverse) an engine pulley or fanbelt is scraping on some plastic part, or whatever, and making the noise.

If not under the hood, it may be one of the front brake pads that have a "worn brake pad" sensor. The sensor is an L-shaped piece of metal that scrapes the rotor when the brake pad backing gets too close to the rotor, hence worn brake pads.

If the noise is somewhere else, maybe another "expert" has a suggestion.

Please post more information... Thank you.

P0734 - 4th gear incorrect ratio. P1529 Malfunction Indicator Lamp Request. Problem is in the transmission.
Take/Tow your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership and pay the diagnostic fee... they will tell you exactly what the problem is and the cost of parts/labor to fix it... at least this way you'll know what the problem is and what's required to fix it.

yes you have an engine misfire, probably a bad spark plug or plug wire, maybe a coil issue, do not continue to drive it or you will do severe damage to the catylitic converter

I have a 2011 xjl v8 i crossed battery terminals and my car went dead only getting power to seats and windows and navigation screen. It wont start what fuses can I check or is it a lost cause?

Hello Eddie Pascal,

No lost cause... 2011 xjl v8

There are actually some pretty nice tools to check every fuse in your car... EASILY.

Drawings for popular American vehicles (yes Jaguar) can be found on BBB Industries
(registration required ... bbbind.com bottom).

As for me
I recommend & own the entire set of FACTORY MANUALS for my '95 XJS... & love them (paper: pricy tho).

Many of your vehicles systems operate on reverse polarity...Your major components, alternator starter motor & solenoids, relays should have survived without issue... If there are POLAR capacitors (not placed behind rectifiers as in reduced voltage (most on-board electrics should have survived))...

In-protected POLAR CAPs will have self destructed
(NOT common... if at all).

If you offended anything else there are some major FUSES
(see below) to keep the battery from blowing up and you car fires to a minimum. If you buy them SINGULARLY... they will be quite EXPENSIVE (Check out AMAZON & eBay for kits and tools
(below)

Not quite 20 years before your car JAGUAR & Ford got together and pretty well combed the LUCAS effect out of the product line.

If you get into a question... I enjoy electronics ...
Please do comment me back.

Jump start reversed polarity now nothing

That sort of thing can badly damage management system, relays, melts connection, fuses. There is a fuse for the computer, check your manual. But get it diagnosed.

Polarity was reversed when jump starting vehicle installed new battery & no power to anything mechanic said fuse got blown.What fuse,where it is located & cost of it.

Hard to say without make, year, and model-but check all fuses in the power distribution box under the hood- ignition, alternator fuse, etc.-all of them, the small ones and the maxi-fuses. All fuses are pretty cheap. If you still have nothing, you may need a wiring diagram to check for fusible links that would be power distributors right off or near the battery. Fusible links work much like a fuse, and most have been replaced by maxi-fuses, but many vehicles have both. If there is a designated main fuse, it should be in the distribution block or box under the hood.

Jumped car the wrong way now it don't want to start I have to bypass the key just to get it to turn over

you have most likely damaged some of the electrical components,by reversing the polarity you have put 24 volts into the vehicle & burnt something out, you may need to take the vehicle to an auto electrician to have the problem fixed.......hope this helps......cheers.

I have a Triton 2004 MK model and I was replacing the battery and accidently touched the leads on the new battery but then realised it was reverse pollarity. I connected it correctly and found my stereo,...

because you reversed the polarity you have damaged some of the electronics especially the radio & the clock I'm not sure about the fan but you have done damage to it,the clock & radio will have to be repaired, you're very lucky that you haven't damaged more electronic equipment in the vehicle.....hope this helps......cheers.

I had to jump start my 82 ford econoline. does this blow most of the fuses in the fuse box. my after market radia has stopped working

No not usually. It's high current flow that blows fuses and unless you put more than 12-14 volts onto the battery no harm could be done. However if you accidently reversed the polarity (put the cables on back to front) then you would cause damage to the alternator diodes and the battery would drain back though them. If the radio was switched on at time of jumping, it would be damaged.
