I was recently changing my Alternator and forgot to disconnect the battery..well the ground wire I presume touched the car..causeing a spark, there was also a spark and or smoke coming from front of engine down low by radiator. Smelt a bit like burned rubber i guess.. Now Car wont start, I have checked all fuses that i can think of...Not sure if fried wire or what? Don't have a ohm meter or multi meter so any answer's would be appreciated! Thanks for your time..

try resetting security system first that may be it. See pic on how to do it. if not that it may be something that a pro will need to look at.
