*cliffnotes at the bottom

so i dont really ever start my s14 anymore cuz im in college (no money for ensurance) and we decided to start getting ready for the drift event coming up soon. so we took out the dead battery and put my friends in (his battery's terminals are on the opposite sides).
so i hooked his battery up backwards. tried to start the car a few times. realized what we did. turned it around. drove it a few miles(it ran the same as it did before). after we turned off the car the windows wouldnt roll up. also the dash lights dont work, no clock. but all the fuses are still ok, and the headlights still work.

any ideas of whats wrong? did i fry all the wires?

thanks,
Greg
