Hi guys I have a 1987 TCM FCG20N6.I was replacing the battery & accidently connected it backwards.After just having a new starter put in. Soon as I connected I noticed smoke coming from the starter area.I disconnected it right away about 5 seconds. Then reconnected the battery correctly. But am getting no gauges or horn or no crank happening. Is there a main fuse to check? Or did I most likely fry the starter? If I did fry the starter would that stop other electrical items from working like the horn gauges etc?
