Reversly connecting the battery terminals would blow the fuses.

We replaced the abs fuse and it blows the new one? How can we find a short in the abs circuit?

If you don't have an electrical experience it can be a nightmare to find it-try disconnecting wiring connector from the ABS unit one at a time and see what connector doesn't blow the fuse.
