3 fuses are blown. All of them 35 Amp. Quick and cheap fix, provided my battery cables are now correct.

There you go.
The terminals on the converter are very clearly marked, positive and negative on the 12V side and the 120V side. There is also (at least on my old converter) another fuse or two on the board, you have to remove the converter to check them. One of them was soldered on to the board, if I remember correctly that's the one that is supposed to protect the circuit board.
If you go look at the Progressive Dynamics site, find their replacement for your converter and take a look at their installation manual. They have some very good pictures of the OEM showing which terminal is which. Sounds like your haven't gotten into that if your 35A fues on the panel all went.
Do you have a surge protector, a Kill-a-volt or even a receptical tester. Any one of them can give you a picture of what's happening on the 120V side.
I've gone with a hard wired surge protector, for my money that's the best way to go. It goes through it's little diagnostic and if there is ANY problem with the incoming power, it fails to start and gives you an error message of the problem. It will also shutdown if you have a high or low voltage problem, that kills things like A/Cs.
Glad you found it, hope it was just a one time thing.
