Have no power to dash or ignition. Think I may have shorted something out when boosting. What should I look for. New battery installed
Thanks

Hi Bill and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Before doing anything, check all main fuses in the under hood fuse box. There is a main fuse, battery fuse, ignition fuses and so on.

Here are a few links that may help:

Check the fuses and let me know what you find.
