Take of the engine cover and find the fuse. Then hope you didn't fry the voltage rectifier/regulator.

Brain farted and did the same on a Volvo diesel dual battery set up.

Fried the diodes in the alternator.

Changed the leads and it started and ran.
NO charging.

follow the positive battery cable to the starter solinoid, the fuse is a few inches away in a gray or black rubber fuse holder, it originally had a spare fuse right beside it in a plastic bag.
