If you hooked up your battery backwards, you have essentially fried every digital circut that was connected until the fuse blew, if it blew at all. Thats the wonderful thing about old Volkswagens, you can hook up the battery either way, since everything was analog. So when you get the battery hooked up correctly, be prepared for some SERIOUS troubleshooting.

Sorry man
