Whoops! Switched battery cables. Now, no radio or clock...
1985 GSL-SE.
Replaced my front bumper which required pulling out the battery. I was so excited about my new bumper that I put the battery in backward. A quick spark for a second and then I flipped it back around and hooked it up proper.
Everything seems fine since, except no radio (aftermarket), digital clock, or dome light. I haven't been able to find a "radio" or accessories fuse. I checked the fuse in the back of the radio and that's fine.
Is there a fuse somewhere that I'm missing? Or did I just blow these items up and they need replacing?

Its hard to say without seeing the inside of the items in question, but it sounds like you blew your radio/ant and cigar fuse. All though its not outside the realm of possibility that they are fried, as well as possibly many other electrical items on the car. that unfortunately is a lesson learned the hard way Dont do that again!
