the battery was dead on my xterra so i used my malibu to jump the battery. i don't know what i was thinking but i hooked up the jumpercable backwards on the xterra side and now my stock radio will not power on. i checked the inline fuses and their good. does anyone ouththere know what i fried?

Do you mean the fuses in the fuse box? If not, then check that.

check all your fuses. Chances are you blew a whole crapload of them.

Wouldnt that just send the charge straight into every ground that the battery is hooked up to...including the chassy?
