Default booster cables attached wrong way

Left my parking lights on over night and needed to boost the battery on 2005 Accord EX coupe automatic trans. My son was helping and mistakenly attached to booster cables wrong - positive to negative and negative to positive on the Honda from the booster car. Did have interior and dash lights. After the bad hookup. got the right hookup but everything is dead and battery won't take the boost. Did a circuit breaker get thrown or something worse? Need help in fixing the problem.

Hopefully it's just the battery fuse.

Thanks EX6NIGHTHAWK for your quick and helpful response. I will check out the battery fuse. Indeed, I also hope that is the issue.
And really appreciate your copying and including the page from the manual to locate and check the fuse. Will let you know the results.

Follow-up -- the battery fuse was blown. Have pulled it and now need to locate a new one. Two auto parts stores did not have it. Will have to check dealers to see if any parts dept is open on Memorial day - otherwise will have to wait till Tuedsay.
Thanks again for your help.
