I was hooking up a remote starter on my 2001 galant and by accident i touched the 12 volt constant with a screwdriver and hit metal causing a spark and now i can't start my car! I do not get a crank, horn works, lights work, radio does not work. I checked all fuses, all fine. Any help i would soo apreciate it. I hope its something stupid and nothing major.

I would double check your fuses and fusible links.

So we all know that the supercharged engines need the intake bypass valve so they work in reverse. Otherwise the supercharger would just suck all the air out of the cylinder

The fusible links should be in the battery junction box or under the dash w/ the fuses, I 'm not too sure abt galants. To check a relay just try swaping it w/ a know good relay like fog lights and such.
