Guys i need some help(desperate)
I screwed up while i was repairing an electrical wire in the main harness that runs across the front of the motor.I was an idiot and didnt disconnect the battery and one end grounded out and now the engine wont start.
It cranks normally but im not getting any power to my HKSII(no red light is on).I checked all the fuses and they check out good....also with the key in the run position the electric fans stay on all the time.
Anybody have any suggestions were else to look.

How are you checking the fuses? You should be using a meter. Sometimes they are hard to tell if they are blown with a simple visual inspection.
If your ignition module isn't getting power the fuse for that circuit is behind the battery. Assuming you've got all the wires "fixed" you should have 12vdc on the power wire going to the ignition module (should be a white/blue wire). If you don't have voltage there trace it back to the fuse and check that fuse with an ohm meter.
Why were you repairing a wire? What was the wire for?

Pick up a continuity tester from radioshack or invest the $30 in a multimeter. Make sure the resistance across the ends of each fuse you pull is 0. PITA. There are a bunch of fuses in the IPDM behind the battery (the cover slides off the top - release tabs on either side). You pretty much have to remove the battery to get to them. What wire did you short out? That could provide a clue rather than testing everything. You may have fried a relay also (contacts permanently fused).

I would check fuse 82 - it should be the top right fuse in the IPDM behind the battery (assuming you have an '03 Z). If you have a different year Z it may be in a different position.
