Default bit of trouble...

i have a turbo 06 and all of a sudden it turned off and doesnt want to turn on.. i found out that the main ground on the engine was bouncing around, so i tightened and now the car wont start. i have checked all the fuses on the driver side. I have noticed that i am not getting any spark when i try 2 crank it so i went ahead and changed the crank sensor but its doing the same thing... any help would be greatly appeciated... is thier another fuse or relay somewhere else because the computer seems fine.... thanks es

what fuse did you check? the ones in the cabin on the driver's side or the ones under the hood? IMO, i would check all of them esp. the 7.5A ones because it can be hard to determine if they are blown or not...

The fuse box under the hood is right next to the battery. It's a small black box that's covered.

Yeah chances are you popped a fuse under the hood. if you do find a blown one, hit up a junkyard. find a tC and grab the fuses, some of the bigger fuses can cost more than you think.

same goes for the relays, they are hard to tell if blown. If nothing stands out as being blown id grab all of them from another tC and swap it all out.

Also, if you have a multimeter you can do an ohms test for continuity on the fuses you cant see in. infinite = blown

I take it you already checked you spark plugs. Like the others said it is most likely of fuse blown.
