Car was working fine. Amp removed but the power cable to the battery was bare and touched metal. When I tried to start it made funny noise then acted like it was a dead battery. Tried to jump start, did not work at all. Took battery in to be tested and it was in very good condition. Might we have blown the main fuse and if so how do we remove it?
