made a mistake, help
ok, i made a stupid mistake
ive got a problem where the car wont turn over, no click, nothing. starter was getting weak anyway so i replaced it just to be sure but ive still got nothing. i checked to see if there was power to the starter. there is. the ground is also good.
i started to think ok maybey its the neutral saftey switch, the ignition switch, the start cut relay, the main relay. i figured it was likely one of them.
i started with the ignition switch.
i disconnected the battery and began to remove it but i screwed up and i guess i didnt realize where i stuffed the positive battery cable and it ended up touching the terminal, so i had power while i was trying to remove the ignition switch. the switch touched the steering column, sparked alittle, and then just stopped working.
now when i turn the key ive got absolutely no power, my quesiton is, did i blow a fuse? did i short out the switch? what else did i screw up?
ps: my only goal at this point is to get the switch working again so i can push start the car and drive it to my freinds house.

ok, i found the fuse, ive got power to the ignition switch again. so why am i not turning over? . is there a way i can override the relays/switchs to get the starter to turn over.

Re: (bannacrx)
If your main relay is not working. here is a quick way to test it remove the 10mm bolt unplug it and stick it in your frezer for 10 min pull it out and stick it back in the car if it starts up. take it to someone who can solder and have them pop the case off and resold the connections inside.
