Accidently touched both battery terminals
So, I have been trying to find this short in my system, with my tail lights, so i figured it could be the alarm, which should be wired into the same system to get it to blink. so i went to take the negative wire off the battery when i missed with my wrench and it touched the positive terminal and almost welded itself to it.
now when i hit my blinkers (which i just installed a new turn signal switch in the steering column a day ago) both fronts blink, and the rears do not. my fuel pump and power windows also didn't work, until i swapped out the acc fuse and got those back. WEll, actually, the car doesn't run any longer. it'll start up then die, as the fuel isn't properly being metered, etc. any feeback on anything else on where the extra energy could have fried? all the fuses in the fuse panel and convienence (i don't have any fuses there) are ok. didn't see any smoke, or smell any electrical type smells.
thanks in advance.

Re: Accidently touched both battery terminals
Did you check that fuse in the connector mounted between the battery and your radiator overflow tank on the side of the engine compartment?
