The headlights/radio work, but nothing else does. The car starts/runs. There aren't any fuses I can find under the hood, and the mini's under the dash seem fine. Any help?

have a look around the steering wheel
and underneath it and the sides
there should be a fuse panel
hidden there somewhere
most cars have a few fuses
and relays near or around
the battery but mostly the
fuses and relays are inside
the car !also check in the boot
of your car ,when u locate them
ive a feeling most are going
to have to be replaced
when u insert new fuses
especially the cassette types
(flat with two metal legs )
unconnect the battery
or at least make sure the
item the fuse is for
is switched off
and carefully insert the fuse
its not unknown for the
little metal clips that connect
with the fuse ,to be pushed
back ,and the fuse will just be
held inplace by the plastic slot
giving the impression that
something must be faulty
with the item that the fuse
is "protecting"because
it will not work or operate

Rreverse polarity of the battery can damage some electronic components that are not protected against this type of error, however, the fuses may not be the problem. Since the car starts and runs, you can drive to a garrage for expert assistance.

I am assuming you have reconnected the battery correctly
you may have fried something in the electrical system -
time for an appointment at the dealer
or a shop that specializes in electrical problems

i own a repair shop,and your going to have electrical problems from doing this,,the alternator will be the first thing to go out on it ,and id say it probably has blown a few fusible links in it also,,you,ll probably wind up having to take this one to a mechanic to get it straitened out real good,i had one in the shop a while back that this happened to,and it started giving a lot of problems with things going dead on it,and not working,,after 500 dollars worth of parts and work i got it all working right again,,good luck with it,your going to need it,hope this help,s.

You might have fried a fusible link, which is a wire that is designed to burn up when overloaded, making it a slow blow fuse.
