Big Problem... Need Help ASAP!!!

i just changed my water thermo sensor in my 1988 t2 with s5 jdm motor swap..i un bolted the alternator to get better hand at it... i forgot to disconnect battery so very very small spark came up when i hit one of the wires on some metal.. i disconnected it then continued i took old thermo sensor off them put new one in... the clip that goes on sensor is kinda broke but i said w.e. i then pulled intercooler to get even better hand at it... then i did this in reverse order and everything is back together.... now i went to get in and now my gauges aren't working... so i checked my fuses and none were burnt... so i continued anyways. now when i used to turn my key to position before on, my fuel pump would turn on cuz u could hear it... now it does nothing... and i turn key to on position and push my start button and it just keeps cranking... no fuel pump noise no back fire nothing just like its not doin anything... i think its cuz no fuel? wats the prob? and wheres fuel pump located? any suggestions in wats wrong?

Check your ECI fuse. The 30 amp one. I would almost bet that it popped when you shorted out the alt.

You look at it or you check for continuity with a multimeter.

You probably blew a fuse, i'm surprised that you didn't blow the main fuse shorting out the alt like that.

Continuity is the lowest resistance setting usually. It will have a little sound symbol next to it and if you touch the leads together it should beep. Pos/Neg won't matter.
