Woe is me.

'94 945

Daughter goes off to UGA and the batt dies on her (not sure why yet).
She calls and says a friend is coming over to her apt. to jump the car.
Sounds like a plan.
Bozo friend hooks up the jumper cables backwards (+ to -). Many sparks. This initiates another call to dad.
I tell her what it sounds like and tell her to sit tight and I'll appear the next morning, which I do.
I jump it and it starts fine but various systems do not work. I start checking fuses and find seven of them blown.
I start replacing them and everything seems fine until I get to fuse #9. It blows as soon as I turn the key.
Fuse #9 controls the turn signals, belt reminder, heated seats, windows, etc. A few important systems to say the least. I pulled the relay/fuse rack and nothing stands out (I even pulled apart each relay and looked inside them but nothing is visible).
Next plan is to pull the 3 wires connected to fuse #9 and reattach each until the offending circuit blows the fuse again.
That won't happen 'til tomorrow so if anyone has any insights to my dilemma, please feel free to share.

Thanks in advance...
