I used a code reader and ended up shorting the OBD-II port. Now car has no power to the lights, fuel pump, fuel injectors, radio, and some of the fuses and relays in the engine compartment fuse box. I took the positive battery cable completely off and did not see a fusible link though I see mention of it everywhere online. My daughter is about to start college and I really need to get it fixed. Please help.

Our database does not show any fusible link for your vehicle. Power goes directly from the battery to the engine compartment fuse box. You mentioned some fuses with missing battery voltage. What are the fuses that are missing power supply and which fuses do have battery voltage?
