Hello, I am Danny.

You might want to check the fusible link.It's normally located at the starter solenoid or on the positive battery cable pigtail.That acts as a circuit protection device when a major arcing like that happens it's designed to burn out saving the rest of the electrical system from damage.

This guide can help you test for power:
