Big3 mess up

[Kenyanbasshead]

Hey guys

So i did the big 3.

New battery

New terminals better wiring.

After i finished (didnt try start car yet)

I dropped a wrench in the engine bay. It touched the alts + to the engine mount. A few sparks flew. So quickly grabbed the wrench out of there. It was quite warm. Anyway

Tried to start my car... yup. A single click and nothing else. Lights and everythin in the car works. But not able to start.

Any ideas???? Fuses? Starter motor?

Thnx in advance

You probably popped a fuse. I would start there. I did something im my previous car where we were trying to find a place to run wire through the fire wall. we ended up cutting some insulation and there was a wire inside of the insulation(literally inside) and we cut it by mistake and it arched, i tried to leave and it wouldnt start. So we went looking back and found and We reconnected it and when i was it wouldnt start. We rechecked it and what not then checked fuses and found that we popped a few to the gas pump once i tunred the key but never heard the fuel pump kick on

Well then he should check his big automotive fuses. One blew somewhere I'll bet! The main one most likely.

Fuse box under most hoods will have a 50-100 amp fuse for battery,and or for starter,,May also be a 20-30 amp fuse possibly blown for starter/ect in fuse box under dash/or in glove box...where ever you internal fuse box resides.

Hey guys thanks for all the replys.

I dont fuse my big 3.

I checked all the fuses in the car.

Anyway we found the problem and it was a fried starter motor. So got that repaced and its working.

Thanks so much for the input guys.

Cheers
