Default Serious Electrical Issue...HELP!!!

My battery cable came loose while I was pullin into my apt complex, now I have no power to my car at all. I reconnected the cable and tightened it and have checked all the fuses and they all seem fine, unless its one of those little black relays. I have the Password JDM relocator with the Odyssey battery, and its been working fine, it still sparked when i touched some speaker wire to the 2 post (with the cables disconnected of course). What else can I try.......

I'd check to make sure that those relays are clicking and double check to make sure your ECU isn't dead. Since you have no lights you need to check for shorts that remain in the wiring, but it sounds like something needs to be replaced under hood.... find a main power fuse.

Ekkkkk. I had the positive lead "float" off the terminal coming to the crest of a hill on the track and lost all power steering and abs. It felt like the column locked. Thankfully it was on the final lap.

Sorry, I don't know what to tell you; just reminded me of that.

Haha...got it! Turns out that when the cable came off, it touched something and fried the underhood fuse box and melted the wire. Got a new fuse box installed with all new battery and ground wires. Now shes up and drivin again

EDIT: Sorry ^^ to answer your question, no I had no power AT ALL, not even dome light or anything. But it's fixed now.
