Reverse polarity attempted jump start. Now what?
2009 No. American L322 won’t start after reverse polarity jumpstart attempt. All electrical seem to work fine in key position 1 but nothing happens when key is turned to position 2. No noise from starter. Nothing. But I do not believe it to be a starter problem. Looking for troubleshooting guidance on CJB or other electrical troubleshooting. Will check tomorrow to determine if voltage is getting to starter. I suspect it isn’t.
What relays, fuses etc might be at fault? Or is the CJB fried? Or EJB? Help!
Any guidance will be deeply appreciated.

The No-Start riddle solved!
The “No Start” riddle solved. After spending countless hours googling and pulling fuses and swapping relays I finally found the problem and it had nothing to do with a reversed polarity jumpstart.
I stumbled upon upon a post discussing the gear selector causing a non start situation like mine so
in frustrated desperation I thought I would give it one more try. Although I had tried to start the beast in Park and in Neutral before with no results, I recalled that the gear selector cable had recently been adjusted because the car was popping out of drive from time to time. So this time I shifted the selector firmly through the gears and still no start in Park, but if I put it in Neutral and pushed forward slightly while turning the key VOILA it started! And sure enough, I have to manually hold the selector in Drive for the transmission to engage. Looks like I’ll be replacing that cable.
