Default no start :(

well i was testing continuity on the obd 2 connecter between port 5 and 6 and i accidentally placed the wrong lead first..i applied to the ground (5) then to the field service (6) while the key was on the run position.. it made a sound like something was being energized and then it clicked and then no start. i checked the battery and all the fuses that i knew of (the fuses in the driver side dash panel and the fuses under the fuse box on the driver side). no power options anything at all, fuel pump wont even prime, etc. im guessing its a fuse i missed and could use some ideas. i looked at them really good and it didnt look like any of them blew

i disconnected the battery and am letting it sit to see if when i reconnect it solves the problem, however i am suspecting i missed a fuse somewhere.

please tell me that the pcm isnt fried and help me out here with some more tests or ideas thanks guys youre always a big help

It may have been possible that you may have fried it but I DOUBT it... There has to be a fuse your missing. Smell anything burn?
