Electrical Problem

[~laser_craver~]

Ok so i accidentally arched my atlernator. And long story short now if the ignition is int he off position nothing works, not even the door locks or seat belts sliding back. I cant even turn on the dash ligts or anything. And the ecu and radio reset everytime to. I found no bad fuses other then the 80 amp alt. fuse and i thinkt he alternator relay is bad to. Any ideas why the other stuff wont work? Ive been told it could be a short or the arch sent a back current threw the wireing and itll be fine after i fix the alt fuse and relay.... Lemme know what you all think....

yeah change the relay that should do it but if not could be the ignition switch.
Good luck

If you figure it out, let me know as well. I have the exact same problem, just not sure where it started as it was this way when I got the car.

Not sure if it is going to help you or not, but there is a wire that goes from the pos. terminal to the fuse relay box under the hood and connects to the front drivers side corner(which would be the 80 amp alt). Check that fuse and the wire all the way back to the battery for loosness or a broken spot. That turned out to be my problem, got it fixed, and everything works.
