sparks under dash, now no power when turn my key????
i was moving my steering wheel towards the dash and in the middle of the steps, i pulled the steering wheel towards me and my harness got stuck on a metal point and the point was a grounded. i had a small short and small fire with lots of sparks. i unhooked my battery and fixed the wires that were knicked. when i turn the key now, none of my accesories come on like wipers, turn signals, ac controls, nothing. its like the battery is un hooked...and wont do anything in any position when i turn the key....help! all my fuses are good in the fuse box and my headlights still work and interior lights work, just nothing that needs the key to work.....any ideas what i need to fix????

You possibly burned up the ignition switch when it shorted out. What did the wire go to that you had to fix?

check the ign switch on the column first. then check your fusible links.

check your fuseable link on the firewall, theres another one on the starter, and another one some where else maybe some one will say where it is.
