The PCM will have to be repaired. Possible has blown tracks and CPU. What you have done is reverse polarity on the battery and will damage the PCM(Car's Computer). Remove the PCM and take it to your local Ford Parts Department as they have the contacts in Pretoria to repair it ( South African Number of 0820606425)
My 2008 rocam , wasn't starting I replaced starter brushers and did minor service, all was good. But after 2 weeks the battery weared off, I replaced it, now its back to old problem of cranking and not starting.
Check the Starter selonoid wiring, It runs right next to the Crank Angle Sensor wiring. Separate the starter selonoid wire from the crank angle sensor wires. When you crank the engine, high voltage and current going to the starter selomoid induces high voltage in the sensor wires(very low voltage) and causes the crank angle signals to get interupted.
