No power to almost everything!! help!
My 1989 firebird had a bad neutral safety switch so i would have to start it by jumping the 2 wires by the shifter. However I think one of the wires touched a piece of metal that was grounded and shorted out. It blew 3 fuses so i replaced them with the same kind. now, one headlight motor is always spinning, the horn sometimes works, and the lights work. But thats it. there is no power to anything else at all. help!!!!

No Power This Hour
You probably blew a fusible link near the battery.
Using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe all the links and replace any bad ones you find.
They look like plastic one-inch cylinders in line with the wires.
