Default Guys i need 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.

my friend sort of did the same thing with his car and sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldnt/ when it would start it would run like $hit and couldnt idle and eventually die out and wouldnt start again. Ended up being that it fried the computer. Luckily they still covered it under warranty for him

I found it after using one of my techs multi meters.It was the right upper 10amp fuse in the fuse block behind the battery.After using the multi meter i found the blown fuse and pulled it out but still had a hard time seeing were it blew.It was just a real tiny little mark on it that i just could barely see.

Thanks for the help.

yea, my ecu fuse went.

My car would still crank.
A/C fan was still on when car was on position.

Sorry I didnt post earlier Keith, I saw that you said that all your fuses checked out good so I figured it wouldve been useless info if I posted.
