I have a '96 jeep Cherokee sport 4.0. I replaced my old ignition coil because it had huge cracks across it. When I was hooking the negative lead to the battery coming out of power distribution center, I accidentally put it on the positive terminal and tried to start it. I heard a little click, and now nothing happens when I turn the key. No dash lights, no interior lights, no electric. Battery tested good, wires from battery looked good. I have no idea where to start

Fuseable link, (wire that burns up inside it's plastic coating). Need to check wiring diagrams for location. Near the battery I believe.

The auto places in town only have 14g links. Is it safe to go to a smaller gauge?
