Re: electrical problem

it sounds like you may have blown one or more of the fusible links, as they're right at the starter and lead to the interior fuse box. i would start by checking those to see if they popped and need to be replaced. also check all of your interior fuses, probably lost a few of those too

Exactly, so check the fusible links.

As indicated in a previous post, look near the starter.

But you need to know what you’re looking at.

Fusible links merely look like a piece of wire which was spliced in, sometimes encased in plastic.

They are usually rust in color.

Using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the nearest junction point to determine which one(s) you will need to replace.
