Default Power window, Gauge Cluster problem

Alright well as some of you may or may not know I have been having issues with my 94 Accord EX. Well today I was trying to jump my fan relay when I hit the wrong relay. I jumped the power window relay and not only that but a friend of mine told me the wrong prongs and I jumped two hots. It arched and I quickly disconected the jump wire. Well I went to check the windows to make sure that I didnt add to the list of problems I was having but I did.

I now have power windows that are not working as well as my gauges. Also the car will not shift out of Park. I am really screwed now because its about to rain.

Is there or how can I fix this issue?

Did you check for blown fuses after you jumpered the wrong terminals?

yeah checked the relays and the fuses the only fuse that are not hot are:

(inside) Aux fuse holder and starter signal
(under hood) Power windows and Sun Roof

Checked them and none of them are blown.

It looks like the #1 fuse under the dash (10 amp fuse) protects the shift lock and the gauge lights.

#5 is the power window fuse in the under dash fuse box.

Do you have the 94 shop manual?

I have one somewhere but I cant fined it, sorry. I check the fuses and #5 is fine used a light tester. Now the #1 isnt showing any power at all but the fuse isnt busted.
I am having the same problem with the fuses (window fuses) under the hood. They arent showing any power but at the same thime their not blown. The only power or light im getting to the gauge cluster is the battery light.

In the DIY section, the Online Manuals thread has a link to spoon honda site. The manuals link in there has a 94 shop manual in pdf form. The KH model is the wiring diagrams that you want to look at.

It looks like #1 has power when the ignition switch is turned to the IG1 (i think the I position).

The source of the power to #1 has the #15 (100A) and #18(50A) fuses in the engine bay fuse box. You'll have to work backwards with a volt meter to find out where the short is at in the system.

This is going to suck, oh well. Anyways you seems like you know a thing or two. Im having and issue with my fans. I have used the manual to run a troubleshot and came to the conclusion that its either the A/C Diode or control module. It tells me that the A/C Diode is under the driver side kick panel but I have no idea what Im looking for.

Default What was your solution?

I had the same problem last night. I caused a short and now cant roll up my windows, cant shift from Park, and my guage cluster completly died.

Was it a relay that went bad? where was it located?

Check your fuses first, anyway. You'd hope that a cheap fuse would blow before a relay or something more expensive.
