Default Jumped battery, cables backwards, help!

I'm an idiot. I've jumped batteries 1,000 times and for the first time the other day I accidentely switched the cables around. Since then my radio and cigarette lighter outlet wont work. I have checked the fuses under the wheel and under the hood. Are there any other fuses im missing? Is there anything yall know that I can do to fix it?

Could've fried a connection. Be happy that the only problem is the radio and lighter ..... you could have fried the multiplexor.

Count yourself lucky. You could have fried any number of things way more expensive than those.

Check fuseboxes in BOTH ends of the dashboard, near the door hinges.
