How do you find out what systems are damaged after connecting the battery in reverse on a 1989 Ford F-150?

You can count on the alternator diodes being fried. But you might be able to have it tested. After that, much of the OTHER stuff has protection. Unfortunately, polarity protection is difficult if not impossible with an alternator.

Does connecting a battery charger the wrong way damage the car electrical system?
If there is any charge left in the battery, connecting it the wrong way should blow the fuse in the charger before any damage is done.Motors, heaters and lamps will not be affected.Electronics, such as radios, cds, and engine management systems however, do not like reverse polarity and will blow the semiconductors inside, if reverse connected.Most properly designed and constructed car electronics, have protection on their power supply lines, to stop devastating destruction caused by reverse polarity. This is usually a reverse connected diode across the power input lines.Connected properly, the diode does not conduct and has no effect. Conncted in reverse and the diode will conduct, putting a short across the line and hopefully blowing a fuse to protect it. (crowbar protection).So, you may get away with it. But it is not advised.
Can osmosis remove salt from water softener?
Softened water (from a water softener) has some additional sodium (not salt) in it. Reverse osmosis will remove this sodium. Indeed reverse osmosis membranes are quickly damaged by hardness in water, so reverse osmosis systems prefer to run on softened water. Julian Hobday of KindWater

Why would the battery come on but the engine not crank over on a 1994 Buick Park Avenue?
you have two systems that turn over a motor it could be your battery but it sounds like the starter or something in that system like the silinoid or starter relay or it could be just a loose or damaged wire.

How do you find out what systems are damaged after connecting the battery in reverse?
You can count on the alternator diodes being fried. But you might be able to have it tested. After that, much of the OTHER stuff has protection. Unfortunately, polarity protection is difficult if not impossible with an alternator. Connect it, try to start it and see what works. Check the alternator first. Most auto parts retailers will do that for you without charge. If you can't get spark and NOTHING works, just start with the computer and see if you can get a diagnostic code. If components have failed, the computer can usually tell you what's wrong. Good luck, that can be a very expensive mistake, depending on how the manufacture electrically protected individual components.
