If the car does not work afterwards You'll want to check all fuses and have an auto parts store test the battery. It is likely that you have fried the battery and will need to replace it and if not for fuses this would fry the electrical system, however car's have fuses to avoid this, therefore a fuse is likely blown, check underhood fuses as well as under dash ones.
