Default car does nothing

i have an 87 honda accord 2 door , that had a bad voltage regulator, i had that replaced, the plug wouldnt stay in the side of the altenator when it was replaced, finally got it to stay put and i went for a ride, the first little bump in the road made car quit, all lights came on in dash, car coasted to a stop. car wouldnt crank. the plug had come undone and there was a sign of arcing. but all tests show no damage, no fuse blown, starter does not engage at all. had to call town truck, this car has been sitting the yard for months now. any suggestions?
thanks
wendy

first off is there any electrical at all anymore. if there is get a plug from a salvage yard and wire it in because it sounds like the plug clip is missing. if there in no electrical start checking relays. if they are fine check and make shure that no wires are melted and grounding out. which would usually blow a fuse. but hey you never know what someone has rigged up. good luck
