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

Re:HELP!
 

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

Re:HELP!
 

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.

Re:HELP!
 

look for burnt wires ;)...most likely on the one you took the fuse out of...dont do that again

Re:HELP!
 

do i have to cut the wiring harness up and look??

Re:HELP!
