I was replacing my radiator today after a minor fender bender, when long story short there was a spark when it touched the frame, and now there is no electrical at all. I turn the key and I get nothing.

I'm guessing/hoping it just a fuse but can anyone give me more information on which fuse would have blown or what else the problem may be?

Thanks.

I'd start with checking the "large amp" fuses in the underhood fuse panel. These are the ones held in by two screws and have a clear - at least when new - plastic window on the top....if you can't see thru the "window" that well, use a volt meter or test light and verify voltage to ground on both sides of them touching the meter to the screw heads and the other end to body ground.

 

You also need to find the short that caused this problem.

Failure of main fuse (80 or 100 A fuse) would suggest a short in battery lead or alternator B+ lead which precede smaller fuses of other components. IE, the small fuses should protect the larger fuses from shorting.

good luck
