Default Need help car won't start.....new battery/alternator

I have a 2011 tC new battery, new alternator, headlights work, all lights on dash on. Door locks don't work, radio won't come on, car won't even turn over. Have continuity to starter.
When I pulled the old alternator, I forgot to disconnect battery, the wire from alternator hit dipstick tube and sparked.
I checked voltage from negative post to alternator wire (17.89). I have also checked all smaller fuses under hood and dash.

Can someone assist with next step?

Thanks in advance.

Did you check the fusible link?

Yes....looked only nothing burnt. Is there a way to test with meter without removing entire fuse box?

Was hoping the burnt point might be visible. Sorry, I don't know how to test it in place.

A search for "fusible link" returned 45 threads. One or more may mimic your symptom (or combination of) ie, no door locks/ no radio/ no start.
