So today, I was using an oil filter wrench while changing the oil on my S13, when i accidentally tapped the wrench to the thick power wire going to the alternator which ending up sparking and grounding out for a split second.. (the boot wasnt even on the terminal).. well, at first i didnt really think much of it, but now nothing in the chassis is receiving power. The car runs and drives, and the headlights still work.. however the gauge cluster, tach, radio, dome light, tail lights, power windows, and signals dont work... i checked all the fuses and relays, and nothing is blown.. anyone ever had this happen before? any ideas what might have happend? tomorrow ill get into it a little bit more with the multimeter, but as for now i need some ideas
