Blown Fuses
A couple of weeks ago, I need to change the alternator of my 79 vette. Bought rebuilt 94 amp alternator and installed it, pretty straight forward so far. Here is where it gets interesting, first I have to admit that I was a bone head 
I did not disconnect the battery and while I was installing it the live power wire touch a part of the engine and big spark! The next day I noticed that my radio and my horn plus interior lights were not working, so today i replaced 2 fuses. I tested by turning the key to the on position and everything worked 
but when i turn on the motors and backup again the radio, the horn and lights were not working, I am sure that the fuses are blown. Please help me to where I should start to look, I don't have test tools.
Thank you
Maurice

No test light? Are you kidding me? Gees, they only cost about $6 and every auto parts store will have several of them. If you're going to own and drive a Corvette you MUST have tools.
