Jumper cables hooked up backwards no radio and lights inside car
There is more then likely major damage to the computer , alternator , and other electronic components, the safest way is always disconnect the battery cables and charge the battery, you may be lucky check for blown fuses and melted wiring .
Connecting jumper cables the wrong wat around most likely has damaged electronic components such as a radio and computer.
Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
If you still have problems then get an auto electrician to fix your car.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
You have a fuse link/ Fuseable link) in the wiring from the battery to the fuse box that has probably failed. Go to any auto parts supply Napa, Auto Zone ect that has computerized parts break downs of your vehicle and ask them to show you where the fuse link is located. It will be inside the black plastic conduit material of the chassis electrical harness. Some Vehicles have more than one Fuseable Link. Make sure to ask when you check at the auto parts source if there is more than one and ask for the location of that one also. Most auto parts stores will show you the computer monitor with the location diagram of the Fuseable link.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

Sounds like a similar problem I had. I had a bad battery. Jumping the car and charger did not help. All instruments work as I am guessing the battery had enough juice to light those but not enough to start car. Either bad battery or alternator. I changed out the battery and everything was fine. If you have an aftermarket stereo or amp, make sure they are setup right. The amp may be drawing power even if radio and car is off which may attribute to low start power (including above suggestions).

i think you burned the computer, the key is not supposed to be in the ignition when jumpstarting

It seems that one of the pulleys is bent, or you are using the wrong timing belt. I would suggest changing them. That would probably explain why the timing belt keeps breaking. The braking problem can be related, or you simply have a leak somewhere in the system and should try bleeding the brakes after thorough inspection.

recheck the high amp fuses ie 100 amp as sometimes they blow but look ok best test with a multimeter with fuse out and twist contacts as you test them....
