I have no clue about cars but im wondering if the computer maybe got fried when they crossed the battery. I am a single mom and finances are very tight over this christmas holiday so any input on this would be wonderful
Reversed polarity probably burnt the main fuse. A few dollars for a replacement fuse from most any auto parts store and you should be back in business.
