No Power To R33 Gts-t

[Daboss]

Hey forum hows it going, have a prob with my car and wanted some good advice as to where to start looking. Shorted the + cables that are under the bonnet located under the fuse box cover, if you need to know how I will tell you later. There was a spark and the car died. Tried to restart but nothing works no power anywhere, horn kinda makes noise but its sputtering and no volume to it, I hear the noise when you leave the key in the ignition and open the door but I have no interior lights, my fuel pump doesn't prime when ignition on and no dash lights at ignition on. I took all the fuses out from under the steering wheel and checked them there still good and also went to the main fuse in the back trunk tested it and got continuity, same thing with the ignition fuse back there. When I have the ignition on the air bag light on the dash lights up and keeps flickering also my alarm can be armed and disarmed. I am stumped as to what else to check. Any suggestions?

On a big short like that you will probably have killed your main fusable link. No idea where they are located in a 33 but it will be in the main fuse box somewhere.

Ok thanks for the reply would that be the fuse thats rated for like 65 amps? If so its in the trunk and I took it out and tested it for continuity and it checked out ok.

check all the fuses mate. it is definitely a fuse. if you have things that "sort of" work and things that dont work at all, then there is power in the car its just not getting anywhere. fuses are designed to stop damage to any of the components when the ampage goes to high, so you probably dont have anything to worry about once you change all the fuses you busted. be aware if you remove the fuse for the airbag it will flash at you until you reset it there are other threads on that

Hey forgot to mention that I found the prob. No fuse had blown a wire by the fuse holder under the steering wheel column had just became loose as a result of the short. Thanks for all you guys help.
