Changing my spark plugs wrench sliped hit the battery on the red connect. Made a big spark. I did not disconnect the battery first. Go to turn on and nothing at all happens. checked fuses (20,30,40,50)that I could see and none of them were blown. What is the problem? What did I mess up? Wrench was touching the compressor when it hit the battery.

You will need to test all the fuses and fusable links with a test light or a meter. Visual can be deceiveing. Let me know what you find.
