electrical problems
a week or so back, i shorted out something in my car ('96 prelude), and now i don't have anymore ABS, and my climate controls won't work. the lights on the buttons won't even come on. i don't have a defroster, AC or any of that. i've already checked the fuses, and they all seem to be okay. any suggestions as to what it might be?

Check Interior/Engine bay fuses, if they are fine check all your engine bay grounds and exposed power leads.
Did you install a stereo head unit into your car, or have it installed, you could possibly have open/frayed wires within your center console up under the dash.
Wiring problems arnt as bad as most peopel think you just have to do trial / elimination, it usually takes a few tries to get things down, check your relays as well.
Seriously somthign a shop could quote you Hundreds for is a do it yourself $50 or less fixer, it just takes tiem and patience.
