arc'd b terminal on alternator, lost almost everything

The car starts and the the headlights work but the taillights, turn signals, interior lights, and cd player do not work at all. I've check all fuses and they are good. What am I missing other than all bulbs being blown??? Also the warning lights work as well but the light on them fluctuate from dim to bright and when driving my hatch warning light and sometimes door light come on. What have I messed up or where should I start looking?

Did you chack fuses inside the passenger compartment and out? The one's under the hood are the more likely to have blown than the interior one's I would think. If it's not a fuse, you will need to do some serious voltmeter time to find the problem(s). Also I gotta say it but did you check the fuses with a vlotmeter? They can look good sometimes when they are bad. Keep adding your progress on this thread and you should be able to get help as you make progress.

Ya, I checked the fuses on the shock tower and the fuses behind the dead pedal and all of them looked good. I didn't get a chance to put a volt meter up to. I'm going up to the shop tomorrow around noon to do all that kind of stuff and hopefully figure something out.
