Have the battery load tested in case it was short circuited. Reverse polarity, at the battery, in a 12 volt electrical system on a car can cause a variety of effects including damaging the alternator, diodes and the numerous microprocessors on a vehicle such as those in the powertrain control module (PCM). There are fuses, fusible links, circuit breakers, and many electronic components in many circuits that could have failed due to the reverse polarity. Inasmuch as the vehicle does not start, the simplest thing to do is diagnose the starting circuit first as, in the course of that diagnosis, other fundamental failures (for example if the PCM was fried) will come into view.
