Hi everyone. i have a problem that i pretty much created but unsure how to fix. so here the story.. i was replacing my injectors and messing with my fuel system and as i was testing(priming) to check for leaks i mistakingly left the key on ignition on. i then disconnected the battery to finish up the rest of the install. keep in mind the key is still on. when re connecting the battery i heard a slight pop, didn't necessarily think anything of it at the time. when i get back in the car to fire it up i say the key was still on. now when i turn the ignition on absolute nothing happens. i lose all power to the car when i turn the key.

question for anyone who can help, any idea what i might have done? I'm a newb with testing electrical connections so any help would be really appreciated. i was thinking about the starter, fuel pump, and EEC relay.

Check your fuse box. More then likely it's a fuse.
