Ok so I'm on my way to work last night and leaving my hood I run over some ice/snow, still about 6 inches in spots. And well I scrape a little and my lights dim and then go back to normal. Well when this happened my radio went out, my gauges, my powerlocks/windows, turnsignals, wipers, heat, mirrors and everything electrical inside my car stoped working except for my lights, and hazards. So I'm thinking I blew a fuse of some sort, but which one? I have an alarm installed that also does not work anymore. I pulled and checked some of the fuses in the fuse panel and the ones I pulled looked ok, is there a main fuse or something somewhere?

Ok I ended up just taking it to the electic engineer and I think he found it. It took him about an hour because we couldn't get the fuse to blow again. We found the wire that goes from my alarm to my ignition had rubbed bare from vibration on the clutch bracket and was shorting stuff out. I just wish I had taken it to him a week ago, it only cost me $20. He is a hella cool guy too.
