What gets messed up when you incorrectly cross the jumper cables?
Yeah, I think I did to one of my cars.

Fortunately, it didn't go boom. But what I did was jump my Z(dead battery) with the key at ON in the ignition. When I did that I saw a spark from one of the terminals of the Z. Now when I try again to jump it, it doesn't start. Do I just need to replace the fuses?

I think your best bet is to try the fuses. Another NorCal person! Never noticed that

try the main fuse becuz this happend to one of my friends .......... he hooked up his battery in reverse and he couldn't start his car and all it was a fuse

So which fuses should I replace? There are way too many for me to replace them all.
