Default Did something dumb

Umm, I did a dumb thing and wonder if I could have hurt things....

car was dead battery from sitting at airport for couple of weeks. Trying to use my dad's rusty jumper cables couldn't boost the car off the aux post, so flipped up the back seat and proceeded to try (twice!) to attach the cables to the battery backwards...got few sparks etc. Pulled my head out of my a$$ and did it right and started car....

now I notice a few things don't work...eg sunroof, door, and maybe a dash thing or two...

could I have fritzed anything? Oh, btw, I know my door wiring is shot, so the window/sunroof prob. could be there...

Default Oh, ya and anti-lock light stays on

that was the other wierdness is the antilock light stays on, although I know the switch was kinda burnt wierd already....

speaking of which, does anyone have a antilock switch for a 20v 200Q? I tried swapping antilock switches between my '89 and '91 and they didn't work, so there must be some difference...
