something shorted, no electrical to car

[LsrRStyle]

alright my friend and I just modified is mas on a 90 laser and when we started it up it kept stalling so i looked it up on the vfaq and realized that was a common problem. so i tried messin w/ the biss screw and i just about got it but then the car stalled again and then the positive battery cable sparked and sense then there has been absolutly no electrical power to the car at all. I checked all the fuses and they seem to be fine, tried jump starting it and it didnt do a damn thing. I just cant figure out what fried. Any suggestions would be great, thanks for the help!

is the starter even turning the motor over?

 

[LsrRStyle]

no, now if we let it sit a while it gets power but if you go to start it it just clicks and all power is lost...there is an alarm on it, i dont know if that is playing a part in it or not

Seems like it isn't charging... if yall can push it you could probably jump start it.

Just to be sure though... do yall have an afc because you need to add fuel when you install a 2g mas.

we tried jump starting it and that didnt do anything, but no we dont have an afc but we just modified the 1g one and did it in a way that we could put the honey combs back in and so we did that. i think i am gonna try push starting it tho...

So sometimes the starter is kicking and sometimes it wont? Bad Starter?

 

[LsrRStyle]

yeah...if we let it sit for a while power will come back but not all of it, like the seat belts will go back but the windows dont work...i thought it could be a bad starter or connection at least but we tried push starting it and that didn't work either...

sounds like either a bad battery or starter to me getem checked at your local drive up parts store

If you did this allready, disregard.
1. Clean the heck out of the cable ends and terminals. Jump if battery is low.
3. Try a fresh battery. (Interchangeable with # 3.)
2. Make sure that the terminals are trully good, they must be rather tight on the battery or the kind of problem you described occurs. Power when you first turn the key to the RUN position, and then it flickes off when you try to START.
3. Make sure that the grounds are tight. The cars come with several.
4. The electricla part of the ignition switch could be going bad, happened to me once.
5. Turn the key till you have power, don't try to start the car. Try wiggling the cables to see if you have an intermittent open circuit.( someone should help you by watching the power status

That's all I can think of for now.
Good luck
Regards

where are the cables for the ignition switch?
