My buddy was attempting to tighten a bad positive battery terminal on my 2006 GP GXP and mistakingly arc'd the battery. He ended up replacing the terminal but when I went to start the car the chimes, lights, and radio turned on but not the car. It didn't even turn. Charged the battery (a brand new yellow top) and still nothing. Checked all of the fuses under the hood and all seem fine. Are there any fuses that if blown would cause a problem like this? Any other ideas what may be stopping the car from starting and how to fix it would be much appreciated.
 


Take a multimeter to all the fuses under the hood, check for continuity. There's two little metal tabs at the top of each fuse, put the leads on and if the meter beeps, it's good. No beep, remove and inspect. I've missed fuses just looking them over real quick, found after using the multimeter.
