Default late night+hooking up batt.= BAD

i hooked up my battery backwards, went to start it and obviously nothing happpend, I hooked the cables up right and now it will only start by turning the key on and jumping the 2 solenoid posts

i have no power at the red/ lt. blue wire coming from the ignition switch to the solenoid. Could i have fried the clutch saftey switch or ignition switch?

Might want to check your fusible links out bud, that is where I would start.
