Have a bad battery, turned on key, all instrument lites came on, but the battery didn´t have enough umph to turn it over, my grandaughter was talking to me and I hooked the jumper cables up backwards... cable sparked and I realized what I had done. Hooked them up corectly turned on the key and no lites on the instrument panel. I found some fuses under the headlite, one was blown, and next to the seat I found was looks like a silenoid whit a fuse between the posts that was burnt in two, I shorted them together but still no instrument lites when the key is on... any suggestions would be appriciated.
