I hooked battery up wrong. Engine will start and run and lights and turn signals work. Power accessoriies, interior lights will not work. Fuses check out okay.

Have you checked the power distribution box under the hood for blown fuses? Also, check for power to the accessories that are not working. IF they have power and still don't work, chances are they were damaged when this happened.
