We forgot to disconnect the Battery when replacing the alternator on my 03 rav4, which caused a spark with the alternator wire. We tested the fuse box and they all work except the EF12 the MAIN and the A/c and there is no power at all from the fuse box under the dash. The engine runs on start up but makes noises and is not driveable. We have no idea with electrical stuff by the way. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Test the main cable at the alternator to see if it's still powered (with the engine off). If not, you've blown a fusible link somewhere. Follow the big cable all the way back to the Battery and see if you can find it. They're usually very close to the + Battery terminal.
