Default Please Help!

i woke up today and decided to clean my k&n and do some other little things to my car. i took out my stock topmount to clean all of the dirt and grit that has accumulated since my turbo install and i set a wrench by the alternator. i saw a spark arc from somewhere (assuming the alternator to ground). i went to start the car and there was nothing. there was the door chime, but no fuel pump surge, no gauge sweep, no ticking and def no turning over. my interior lights dont work and neither does my key fob when i attempt to lock and unlock the doors.... i swapped the battery with another car and got the same results. I tried to reset the ecu via my axcess port, but because the cars acc wont even turn on it cannot comunicate with the ECU. i checked all of the fuses in the dash and in the engine bay... i even took out the ecu fuse and still nothing. the hazards, brake lights, horn, and door chime work, and thats it. any help appreciated thanks in advance...
Eric

turns out it was just the 100 amp fuse in the engine bay. though it didnt look broken, when i removed the plastic cover i saw that there was a brake in the wire.

Nice man, I'm glad everything worked out fine so you can get back on the road.
