I just finished some work on my 93 DSM and I forgot to fasten the battery to the car. I then left for a test drive and I hit a bump and the car shut off. I got out of the car and looked under my hood and noticed a big hole in my intake and noticed the battery and the cable had touched my intake, which grounded out my car. So I replaced all the bad ignition fuses that I had blew, including the 3 fuses at the positive terminal; which was the one that touched my intake.
So now I go to start the car and it will not start. I kept blowing the ignition fuses. So then I push the car down the hill and I popped the clutch on 1st gear. I then got the car started with no problem. So I take the car back home and I turned it off, and began trying to turn it back on. I Get No Dice!
Its very weird. My car will not start with the key. When I tried to turn the key, it did nothing! It does not crank, click, or start. Someone Please Help Me, Please!!
 
Start checking out the starting circuit components:

1) starter relay
2) starter solenoid
3) starter motor
4) Ignition->relay wiring
5) All wiring in between
6) Is there a fuse between the ignition and the starter relay?

Somewhere in there likely lies your problem.
