...after i finished the install, i plug? my 90 lexus ls 400 alternator died and i replaced it with a rebuilt one. after i finished the install, i plugged the the battery cable , with first the positive and then the negative. the instant the negative cable touch the plug it sparked for about a good 2 seconds and i thought nothing of it cause i seen battery cable sparkes before. i then continued to test the alternator by starting the car. the car starts up great, but i notice something was different. my instrament panel did not light up and on a lexus it lights up automatic day or nite. i checked the radio and nothing. try to moved the seats back and no movement. rolled down the windows , didnt even twitch. by this time i realize that nothing works inside the car. no brake lights, no signal.. the only thing that work was the engine and the headlights. i check the fuse box underneath the driverside seat and no fuse was was blown. i then check under the hood and notice the buss fuse for the alternater was blown i replaced there and then. and the result was the same. are there anyone who encounter this problem before? if so please help, and i will thanx u a million!!
