I needed to remove the fuse panel under the hood to tighten my tower bar and 2 of the wires that go the the fuse box touched. They made a quick spark and now my car is completely dead! Anyone have any idea which fuse/relay I would have tripped to cause this so I can replace it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Do you know which two wires touched? Have you checked all the fuses? Even the big 80A ones (or whatever the amperage is)?

 

I'm guessing it won't even crank. Do you have lights? Anything?

 

I got it figured out.. It was the 80A fuse attached to the positive battery terminal, I popped off the red plastic cap and sure enough. Thanks for the input guys ;-)

 

Nailed it! Glad you got it working again.

 

glad you got it working

 

told ya it was the fuse!

 

I had a feeling too, but it just took a few to figure out which fuse lol

 

you did underhood work without disconnecting the battery? glad it worked out for you but, but... dayum.

i only ever took one auto shop class (ended up majoring engineering), but disconnecting the battery negative was always rule number one... it's no joke... as you have found out.

chris unhooked the battery but he still somehow crossed wires. go figure.
