SE no power
So my car drove up my driveway just fine after working on it briefly then went to restaret it in the garage and heard what sounded like a fuse pop and now theres NO power, all my fusable links are fine and so are my under dash fuses.. my battery terminals dont even spark when reconnecting them but my battery is plenty charged.. is my ecu fried due to something grounded out? can a relay or something else be dead??

Sounds dumb, but, ive done it before with similar results.
Hook your battery up backwards? Also, just because your fusible links look good doesnt mean they are. The wire inside the fabric can burn without cooking the insulation. Need a test light/multimeter to be sure.

if something was grounded out, I'd expect your battery to spark and let you know somethin isn't right.
Out of curiosity, try a new battery.
I'd also double check the fuses, I've popped a few fuses and they popped so low you couldn't see. also - my rx7 has a big *** fuse right next to the battery, some aftermarket thing. does yours? i took mine out to see what it did and it was basically like unplugging the battery. nothing got power.

well i was wiggling around the "main" fusable link and got power again. had key turned forward and heard the normal key in or door open buzzer idk which one but if i wiggle/bend the fuse a certain way i hear a second buzzer or tone of buzz coming from the inside of the car.. i have had problems with the male connections before cuz its corroded.. any ideas why the second buzzer has never worked before but now i hear it??

also, check the connection between the battery and the fusible link box where it attaches to the box. It is just a philips machine screw which works itself loose pretty easily causing an intermittent connection. Not sure what the buzzer means......
