Default HELP!

so i was tightening the alternator pully and i arc it and it sparks and ----. i already did it once before and blew the battery fuse so i just run a wire to bypass it. now my alternator just clicks and my gauge cluster burned up? where would i start looking to see what's wrong? i just got the starter checked and it works

Wait, well the car still turns over right? Does it run? You probably fried the alternator and it's running off the battery if so. I would put that fuse you removed back in... thats why it was there.
Give us a little more info about how it's acting and we'll try and help more

no the car won't turn over. the starter won't even kick its arching somewhere in the engine bay i think but i dunno. all the fuses in the engine and cabin fuse boxes are good. hopefully that will help.
