Turn Signal short?
So some idiot tried reinstalling my battery in backwards and got a huge spark. I then got in the car and took her for a spin to see what was wrong.
Problem: NO turn signals. Probably shorted it out? I don't get any signal when i try to switch them on. ALSO my brakes lights won't come on.
Is there any relays to check or what?

Use a multi-meter to see if you're getting power to the wiring harnesses that connect the bulbs. Start tracing back from there so if the wires are damaged at least you'll know between which points. The bulbs might be destroyed even if they don't look like it on visible inspection.
The flasher relay for the turn signals is right above the interior fuse box.
