Well long story short, bought a quest alternator and put it on today! Afterwards when i went to connect the terminals, the positive terminal was touching the post a little and i didn't notice! But i was focused on getting the negative terminal on. While i fiddling with it to get it on the post it was making little sparks and when i get it on i heard a little pop+spark sound. Don't know where it came from but it wasn't from the battery itself! And i go to start the car it fires right up! But none of the inside lights work, no audio, ac, heat, rpm gauge, wipers, horn and etc. You get the idea but the headlights turn on but don't come up, along with the parking lights not turning on! So my question here is what did my dumb numnut @ss mess up?? I checked all the fuses in the passenger side fuse box and they were good! So were the ones in the kick panel, only checked some, it started raining! But did i mess up the relays or what?? I hope its nothing serious! Oh also when i felt the acc relay it was warm and all the others were cold!

Please help me :frown:
