I reversed the polarity of trying to start the car with another battery and after I realized that I put the wrong polarity, the car does not start. I checked if the fuses are blown and I found none, everything is functional but can not start the car, please help

We have no info on this car however see if you have a maxi fuse by the battery it will be oblong it tries to protect the system for these occurances. Also check for fusible links they are wires that melt on purpose for same reason. Both shold be available at auto parts.
