Accidentally Shorted Alternator.

I accidentally shorted out the alternator, and the car stopped charging. I noticed the power steering and shift was locked too. Car and dash started acting strange. I checked most of the fuses except the rely's and mega fuses and they were fine. Some didnt read anything on the multimeter sound test, but there was like 3

I really hope it is. I looked at them not thourougly, but they looked fine. Anyways,I got the car towed to the local dealer free. I hope it's not a bad ecu.

The tow truck driver had to bypass the shifter,and managed to get the wheel to turn, but the car was going funky climbing up the ramp.
