I blew something somewhere

[chris1212]

I didnt unhook the batt and blew something when i installed a starter. I've pulled all the regular fuses inside and under the hood. none are broken. The car has no electrical power at all. does anybody know what i blew?

check your fusible links. particularly the 75A ALT fuse, it can be tricky to tell if its blown sometimes.

ok there's 2 alts under the hood. one has a fuse and the other one doesnt..its not blown

[s13sickboi]

Are all connections tight and clean? Did you put all the wires back correctly? those fusible links are held in the box by bolts. (some of them are i'm not sure about s14's) check those to see if there melted or deformed

What exactly happened? Were you holding up the starter in the bellhousing and all the sudden get sparks? Better hope you didn't screw up your alternator or ecu!

i have no power..that means no lights no nothing..nothing happens when i turn the ignition.. no lights or sound anywhere.yes my starter wire touched and sparked. even if the ecu was bad, the lights should come on im thinking..witch fuse is the main?

[chris1212]

loose ground wire was the problem
