When you plugged it into the incorrect cord you shorted something on the circuit board.

There will be a protection diode that has been blown by the (reverse polarity?). It will be a bit larger black resin type diode, and it will need to be changed out otherwise it will keep blowing fuses. A 4001 rectifier diode will work. Keep in mind the orientation of the original as far as anode and cathode. Now, with this said, I am unsure exactly what you plugged it into or what polarity. Hopefully it was a 12v power supply.

It will be very, very close to where the main positive wire runs into the circuit board from the power plug.
