While installing fog lights, hooked to 15 amp fuse marked ignition, next to it is a place for a male wire connector, that is where I got my power from. While installing wires arched. Now the car will not start when key is on on position. Nothing works, radio, wipers, etc. All fuses and relays check good. Battery is brand new. Something happened when the wires arched. Unplugged wire harness from key ignition and did not get any power readings with test light with key on or off. Please advise.

Hi:

Does the car turn over? If not, let me know what model the vehicle is so I can look at the correct wireing schematic. It may be something as simple as a fuseable link.
