Accidental arc to ground, help!
I was in a rush today, had a dead alternator that I was trying to change out quickly & forgot to disconnect the battery. (Big bonehead mistake). I heard a pop when it happened too.... But can't figure out what went.
I got the alternator swapped and the car now starts, but.... lights are on on the dash (abs, tc, brake, airbag...) No power steering, no locks, etc.... Seems like a main relay or fuse, but fuses look good. Any suggestions? Where to start? |

Check the fusible link located just behind the positive terminal ibn the main positive wire. It may have popped

I used a standard fusible link(14g wire type) as a temporary fix, just pushed an all through the cable, put the link into it, taped it up, and put the other end on the battery side... Car runs & everything works. Bought a new fuse thing from the stealership, ~$25.
