Short between Alternator and body in an Integra

[John18c]

Hi guys,

I have a 1996 Integra Vti-r with the standard B18c2 engine.

I accidentally shorted my car, I was tightening the alternator belt and there was a little rubber cap in the way, so I removed the battery and place my socket and adjusted the bolt to tightened the belt.

After I tighten the belt I forgot that I left my socket in there and it was touching the cable that was under the rubber cap and connected to the battery.

I removed the battery again and then the socket and reconnected everything, however when I put the key in and turn it, I have no accessories, no lights, no nothing, absolute dead.

Is there a main fuse that I can replace or am I looking at replacing the entire ECU and electronic system?

Here is a picture of where it shorted

Simply check all of your fuses, under the bonnet and under the dash.

So I may not need to replace the starter motor or alternator?

Correct. That's what the fuses are for.

No doubt you blew a fuse dude

yes check your fuse box it should be one of the larger fuses, the 100 amp most likely.
