Not starting

Okay, so I was repairing the ignition on my vehicle listed above, it was starting just fine until I believe the wires may have had bad contact or touched metal and a spark was threw. Afterwards it will not crank unless I push it to get it rolling good and pop the clutch and the A/C doesn't work now either. What would be the cause of this?

Good afternoon,

I attached the wiring diagram for you to view.

Check the fuse I circled in the under hood fuse block for power on both sides. It sounds like that fuse failed and there is not power to the ignition switch.

The original reason the fuse failed will still have to be determined. You have damaged wires around the switch. Check for any damage to the harness and the connector.
