You have reversed the polarity for the CPU in the ECM This causes problems with the program at best and at worst will require a new ECM. Use a scanner to see if the program will reset and if not have the ECM checked for operation. You may have to have the alternator checked as well as reversing polarity blows rectifier diodes.

SOURCE: Hyundai Elantra 2003 electrical problem

I found that while checking my fuses that i had pulled out what looked like a black plastic "fuse puller" that was actually some kind of jumper. I had accidentally re-installed it reversed. I reversed it back to its original position and all lights, clock, radio, etc.. work normal now.

Hooked battery up the worng way

Hooking up the battery backwards causes a surge that blows the engine main fuse.The main fuse is usually found in the engine bay's fuse box.
If your lucky you blow many fuses. But alot of the times every electrical component will puff magic smoke and will need replacing. Especially the Computer, Radio and Body Control Module.

Now What to do.Click the link below for step by step troubleshooting:

Positive battery terminal connection remove

If it\'s the dome type clamp, take the screw out, and pour a drop of brake fluid in the screw hole, other types of clamps. Slacken as much as you can, use brake fluid! cover the terminal and clamp and let it soak in. You can try and start the vehicle, if its a bad connection it may heat up a little which will help. DONT TRY AND HEAT IT UP WITH A NAKED LIGHT, a battery gives of hydrogen and a naked light might cause an explosion

Cant get positive terminal off its post

Buy a battery cable remover. It lookc like a clamp. The hooks go under the cable end and the post goes to the center of the terminal. When you turn it, the terminal will pop right off. About $5.
