Default No power

So a friend of mine had a pretty new battery go bad so he replaced it with a new one. When he did so, he connected the wires backwards to the battery. He has a power commander of some sort, not sure which one, that has two black wires so he mixed them up. Now his bike turns on and cranks but it doesn't start because he is not getting fuel. Did he burn up his power commander or is there some sort of internal fuse in it? He is not getting power to the fuel pump fuse. I haven't put my hands on it yet, he only told me about it this morning. Anyone have a suggestion on where to begin? Thanks!!

Did you check the fuses with a meter? I've seen fuses that Look fine but when tested with a meter they were no good

I haven't but I guess he did. I need to bring an ohm meter over there and ohm everything out to see if the fuse is good or bad but I guess he looked at it and it showed good. I need to see it all with my eyes to fully understand.
