I installed a new radiator yesterday along with an oil change and whoever did the last one went a bit nuts with the oil filter. I had to put a set of channel locks to it and I touched something (alternator) in a bad way down there and made a little spark ( I know I should have disconnected the battery)...so now there's no interior power with the key out or in and turned to Acc...the car will start but still nothing, no gauges, etc...then if I rev it it all comes on along with the wipers for 2 seconds.Edit: Ok, I'm offically an a$$, alternator is not charging, please tell me there is a fuse or something that can be reset and not that I'm fu*ked and have to buy a new one

Ok. In the relay box located behind the battery, you will find a grey fuse (starter and alternator). It is a 70 amp one that you will ONLY find at the Nissan dealer. It should run you about $7. Replace that, and you should be golden.

Yeah, that's it...I saw it before but didn't notice it was blown. Thanks
