Buddy was changing his oil on his 94 XJ when accidentaly touched filter wrench to starter wire. It shot sparks and now no lights or anything and will not crank. Checked all the fuses I know to check. Any ideas?

 

sounds like you burn a fuseable link check those

 

I followed the wire up straight to the battery but didnt see a link...any others I should be checking?

 

check the smaller wire wiht a test light when trying to start fuseable links are on the smaller wires near battery

 

look for this box by battery check the wires coming out and in for juice one should have a big round section on it that would be a fuseable link inside check both sides of it with test light

 

Thanks for your suggestions.
I ended up trying a few of them but then thought about things I have encountered on other vehicles. I disconnected both battery terminals for a few minutes then reconnected them and it was back to normal and started right up.
