    Need help!!!

    So i was worrking in my engine bay and my prybar accidentaly hit the contacts on my starter! It made quite a spark! So i checked the starter fuse right away! It was fine, so i thought ok its fine! When i went to start the car, it wouldnt! The starter clicked but did not turn the engine over. I tested my starter and its fine. The fuse is not blown. Anyone know what has happened? What should i do?

    is there a fusable link there?? might have to replace it. other than that it sounds like your battery is a little low, give it a charge or jump start it and see if it cranks.

        If its a 5 speed, bump start it. The starter might be stuck in a position it doesn't like. Or just give it a good smack with a mallet or something to see if you can jar it.

        This should be a lesson learned. The manuals don't say disconnect the battery before any repairs for nothing. Its just a precaution so something like this doesn't happen.
