Many years ago I had my 1980 California model 244 running and on jackstands on the front. I installed a later model accessory package (AC and power steering pump and mounts.) The engine was running and all I did was to turn the steering shaft from lock to lock to bleed out any air in the system. The steering wheel was off due to me removing the entire dash for AC/heater repair so I was using a pair of vise grips on the shaft and as I turned back and forth I touched the steering column housing and there was a small arc and the car died. It won't start now, no fuel pump and no spark. It seems I activated a collision circuit but I can't find any mention of this anywhere. I am close to giving up on this car or doing a full rewire as I can't find anything wrong with the wiring.
Any suggestions???
