2004 ES330 reversed polarity during jumpstart

Blew out the 120A ALT fuse, but replace it and car starts up, but now only 1500rpm. What else should I check?

You need to check the PCM for fault codes, if none exist, you need to follow the manufacture's diagnostic tree for "No start - no codes". You will need a manual or a Mitchell On-Demand or AllData program for this. You probably blew up the PCM.

How to pull out a ALT 120A in a 2004 Toyota Camry

Just pull harder. It is probably lightly welded from when it blew. Spray with WD40 an hour before.

Jump start reversed polarity now nothing

That sort of thing can badly damage management system, relays, melts connection, fuses. There is a fuse for the computer, check your manual. But get it diagnosed.

Try resetting the CPU program as it may be corrupted from reverse polarity. Have the ECM checked out as reversed polarity tends to damage them internally.

Fuse number 22 keeps blowing after friend jumpstart and blew 100amp fuse

Did he connect the cables wrong? I would have the alternator tested. I've seen bad alternators blow there fuses. If the cables were hooked up backwards, it may have damaged the alternator.

Hooked up the battery reversed polarity. Blew the fusible link but replaced it. Now the car will crank but not start.

start checking fuses hopefully its just another blown fuse if your lucky

but if all the fuses are good, you probably fried something like the computer or ignition module and probably the radio

hopefully its something simple and cheep but don't be surprised if you have to shell out some cash to replace the computer
