Default Alt+sparks now no start

Yea I didn't disconnect the neg battery cable before removing the alternator. Some sparks flew and then I disconnected it. Now it won't start. the ignition lights won't even go on. The only thing working is the hazard lights. The car has no interior lighting or speakers fyi. Where should I begin?

Verify there are no blown fuses.
Then have the alternator tested. I've accidentally fried an alternator, vehicle would not start until the alternator was replaced.

There is I hope only the 6 that I see blown fuses. I think though only the 80amp fuse for the battery blew yesterday. The other five are for the radio and lights and seat belt motors I think those blew when I cut the wires to them about a week agoooooo

I pulled an 80amp and the other fuses that unscrew from the yard. That didn't fix it. Took the alt to autozone it's good. I bought an 80amp. That needed modding. Here's a picture I found. I have fuses 22 24 27 and both 36 blown at the moment. Still yet to turn the key.

Do yo have power at the engine bay fuse box?

Check/redo your main grounds, DO NOT just eyeball them, disconnect/clean/reconnect at batt. post, at batt to chassis ground point and at the chassis to engine ground. 94
