I guess it's possible you shorted something.

What's your symptoms of your car not starting? Does that starter turn the engine? Does the starter do nothing? Do you lose power when you go to start the car? And so on...

The crank angle sensor kind of looks like a piston near the front of your car to the drivers side of the alternator.


It's at the very top of the picture, slightly to the right of the blue rag. It's angled away from the camera and has a black circular top.
