Doppy me...
+ on - .... big spark
no signs of life ... ie.. no lights on dash or dinging.
tried another battery ..nothing
changed main breaker ... nothing
this is a 96 corola..
any suggestions (aside from a brain transplant)
what to do, where to look

check all the fuses and fusible links.
if your lucky they will blow first.

also the alternator diode pack could be stuffed. depends how long you connected it for.
