Hey trying to help my sister with her extra car's no start, a 96 lexus es300. It had a bad battery and she said that the last time it started, her friend tried to jump it and the alarm started going off. Searching around on the forums here and from intuition, I'm pretty sure someone tried to jump it with reverse polarity. But I'm not totally sure because I wasn't there. I replaced the battery, as it had a dead cell on test.
I searched, and it looks like all the threads on this topic indicate it blew a fuse, but nobody says which one and I'm not super familiar with this car.. Never worked on it before, don't have a manual for it, etc..
I won't have a chance to go see the car physically with my multimeter for a week, and I'd like to have the part already and just slap it in..

Is it this fuse that's probably blown? Or a different one?
While I'm in there.. A vampire drain's what had her jumping it to begin with and I suspect her aftermarket radio setup is what did it. She didn't even remember where she got it installed. Which fuse do I pull to test that out?

AM2, 60 amp main and ALT fuse tend to blow from a reverse jump. But check ALL fuses, all of them. Not just visually with an ohm meter.

Thanks man I'll bring all 3 with me test the rest and hope it fixes it, trying to avoid this being a two trip thing because i'm not super close to the car

Don't try and pull the high current fuses out, they are bolted to the fuse block on the sides of the fuse, you have to partially dismantle the fuse block to get to the bolts.
