Question Quick Electrical Fuse Question

On the driver side near the fuse and joint box there is a wire that connects to the rear of the car to the fuel pump. I had to solder this wire back together as it was cut and I had forgot to put electrical tape over it.

I started the car up and everything was fine and I was kicking around trying to reverse the car out and this wire had touch a negative grounding point and there was a sparky sound before the car died.

Did I simply blow the fuel pump fuse or is it something worst?

omg dude, i hope you have strong arms

turn your car to the second click (maybe third) and listen for your fuel pump to prime. if you hear that bitch buzz, then your pump is good. if you dont, check your fuse. if that fuse is good, then follow the wire and see if there is a break. if that is good, then your pump is fried and you have to drop your tank to replace that bitch. gas weighs 8lbs to a gallon so if you have a full gas tank, do the math.

BTW, what negative ground point did it hit... or was it a wire ground?
