    1990 honda civic start up problem.. please help
    So here's the weird problem. My girlfriend and I recently changed our thermostat and the lower radiator hose (they work fine now). As we were putting the hose back in the amp wire connected to the battery cable sparked and I think we blew a fuse. The car started before the spark occurred. Everything electrical such as the radio, lights, dashboard, etc - turns on. The car just won't start up. We just changed the starter signal fuse (the red 10A fuse) but we didn't change the ignition fuse yet because we don't know if we need to purchase one or not. The starter & ignition coil are fine, we just can't seem to figure out how the amp wire on the other side of the car (once again connected to the battery cable) would have anyting to do with the car starting.

    Any suggestions/ help/ ideas would be appreciated.


    Let me know if pictures are needed.

    Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or mulimeter:
