2011 JGC Complete power loss (jumped another car with cables on wrong)
Pretty simple. I helped someone jump their vehicle and they put the cables on wrong. When they started their vehicle, my horn beeped and the my Jeep shut down. Now it is completely dead. No power to anything. Almost like the battery itself is dead. I can't use my key fob, I can't do anything. I checked all the fuses and they seem good.

If they were not connected correctly how did the other car start? Just asking so the polarity must have been correct did you follow directions for your GC as to jumping other cars, as I don't it?

The other vehicle started, after I reconnected it correctly, by just being hooked up to the jeep without it running. Like it was still able to pull power form the jeeps battery.

either a fusable link or you fried the computer.
i've seen both instances happen two different times.

I was thinking fusible link, but I wasn't sure where it was.

I've jumped friend's cars before, but I hooked them up without my engine running, and if it didn't start right away, quit trying so I didn't drain my battery. It's a nice gesture to help someone, but self preservation is more important.
