Default f***ed up my dizzy/electrical system

my car for the past few days hasnt wanted to start. i narrowed it down to it isnt getting spark. so my first thought was my coil was bad so i tested it. nope it was fine and so was everything else(i realized after i toke apart my whole distributor). when i put the alternator back on i saw a wire was broke, so i was like thank god it was just the broken wire the whole time. i resoldered the wire, insulated it and everything was good. uh no, aparently i grounded one of the wires from the ICM inside the distributor that was just supposed to not be used and it shorted something. now my car doesnt do sh*t. my alarm doesnt work, my radio doesnt turn on, my starter doesnt click(nothiing just working headlights,interior lights, and my door beeps when it is open) anyone know what i did?

i checked the fuses in the engine bay and all of them look fine, it doesnt look like any on the interior would have anything to do with this, would they?

you need to check the fuses more closely. your symptoms would indicate that there is a blown fuse. use a meter to check

Which fuse(s) would cause all this to go out?

well.. does anything electrical work? If not, then check the main fuse under the hood

Also.. check to make sure your battery isn't toast as well.. then work back from there
