    hey guys, feel really stupid after this one... but with my car sitting all winter i went to put a battery tender on it and while bolting down the possitive (the negative still connected) the wrench i was using hit metal and sparked pretty good. now nothing works no power locks and car wont start. the power locks will actually try and work and after clicking the button a couple of times they will work but the car wont start at all. shortly after the whole system kinda tweaked out too. i think its just a blown fuse but none of the fuses appear to be blown... anybody done this before? suggestions? thanks guys!

    I would test the relays and resisters in the fuse boxes.

    Fuses can blow without looking blown. I'd unplug the battery completely, and test each fuse with a multimeter instead of just visually.

    What is the voltage of the battery? Not sure what fuse would blow from direct positive to a grounded metal body surface. There are no fuses in the big ground cables.

    Battery sounds dead and thats about it.
    Leave the tender on it until the light stays green(fully charged). This may take a day or two.
    Get a multi meter and check the battery when the tender is on it. You should see the digits climb fairly quick when the battery is low.
