Always check fuses before...

Always check fuses before...
Spent a good part of my time chasing around electrical issues in my car for a week in a halve.... I had issues of the speedometer not working, Hard shifting along with D4 flashing. Forgive me honda gods... I also disconnected my negative battery to my civic while it was running.... it cut off .... (No ammeter; I have one currently now) pulled old alternator off and got it tested at my local auto zone. It was tested twice and passed; So I reversed removal and put it back on .
So I went to my local junk yard to pull a Vehicle Speed Sensor and swiftly put it on the car when I got back... Still flash of death.... Plus hard shifting when switching through gears.... I gave up... watched some football... and Immediately thought to myself If I was retarded not to even check the fuses!!!! Checked the ones under the hood first... and then checked the ones under the steering column.... And WAHLLLAHHH the alternator fuse is fried. If you're out there with electrical issues start with your fuses first! I figured I burnt my 7.5 fuse out when I was messing with my o2 sensor extension and that shorted it out. Never thought anything of it. CHECK THOSE FUSES.
So what could be pulling these low voltage to my sensors?

<p>You mean following proper diagnostic procedures was easier than throwing parts at it?</p><p><img src="https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-tech.com-vbulletin/380x299/80-you_dont_say_511667d70f2fb38fa1db895b05cc9a4c485df aea.png" title="" /><br /><br /> </p>

Re: Always check fuses before...
Well the thing is someone confirmed my fuses was good initially before I started the work. I never double checked. This was just for people who google search, they'll know where to begin.
Good day.
Good day.
