HOOKED UP BATTERY WRONG
Guys, I accidentally tried to hook up the small battery under the air filter wrong. Reverse polarity. It was only for a few seconds until I realized what was going on. Now I have no power anywhere car is completely dead. I checked all the fuses and relays under the hood, in the rear trunk drivers side and also the ones next to the big trunk battery. All are fine. Am I missing one or two somewhere?

These are shots in the dark, but things I would check would be the aux battery relay or the BCM. The BCM may require STAR ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
Hopefully some pros will chime in and offer other items to look out for.
Edit:
This is a crappy photo, but it should give you an idea of where the aux battery relay is...

What was the end result?
Hi, I know this was posted 4 years ago but what was the final answer to your question?
May car results has a similar issue after installing headers and dropping the manifold on the starter and a bunch of sparks shot out. Know the car has no electricity.
Thanks!
Ian
