[Mk2] [Generic] Battery connected wrong way round. Electrical gremlins

Post by ads »

Jump starting this morning, somehow managed to connect the battery the wrong way around . Realised my mistake connect to the right way and car started - now the electric windows don't work, the radiator fan is constantly on and the heater unit doesn't function.

Any ideas please?
