i was a moron and decided to adjust my alternator when i replaced it and i forgot to take the battery terminals off. there was a spark and now my XD i believe has short circiuted. the car turns on but the abs, airbag, power steering, e-brake, and tpms lights are on. the radio, windows, ac, and interior electronics wont turn on, and i cant put the car into gear. please someone help me and inform me on what i can do. (i checked fuses)

I had this problem before, I believe your looking for the dome lights fuse (15amp). Check that one. For some reason I blew mine and nearly all my interior electronics shut down. But when I replaced it they all came back

I'm not sure about the xD but some vehicles have an inline fuse that runs inline with the alt.

i took it to the dealership and they had this guys he is an aerospace engineer/ master diagnostic tech and i told him exactly what i did and he said you blew your main fuse link into the ecu harness. so anything that required fuses went haywire (ac,radio,windows etc). they gotta relace that part and reflash the ecu. they said the part isnt expensive the service and repair is the whats gonna hurt my wallet. i should have my XD back to new by monday.
