No one really answered this question yet...
Touch the negative probe from the meter to negative battery terminal (or chassis ground) - then the positive terminal to the input side of breaker (should read >12v) - the move the positive to the output side of breaker (should read the same).
House lights would not be affected by reverse polarity... Incandescent bulbs don't care - and LED just won't light...
Other components (inverter, converter, electronics) might not fare too well - if you let the 'magic smoke out', it can be hard to put back in...
TV would have to be 12v to have been impacted... most are 110v AC.
Hopefully nothing major damaged. Good luck!
