Dead Electrics

[idrismerv]

Hello,
I have taken the starter motor off in order to get at the off side rear exhaust bolts. I forgot to disconnect the battery, hence a few sparks. Did the work on the exhaust manifold, put everything back again. Tried to start the car. No electrics of any sort (lights, horn, ignition, windows all dead). I have checked the fuses in the passenger foot well and I have checked the two large fuses (one in the footwell and one strapped to the chassis near the starter motor). Both ok.
I don't know if I disconnected something else and have forgotten about it but I don't think so. The red isolator switch is also 'ON'.

Any ideas

100 amp fuse?

Just a thought.

Do you have a voltmeter and know how to use it? If so, start at the battery then work your way through the main power lead to the starter, fuse box, alternator, ignition circuit etc.

Going back to the starter, have you put both main wires back onto the starter as the main feed from the battery also feeds back to the car from the starter connection. Adrian@
EDITED to say...remove the battery terminal 1st for safety.
