Hey guys,

My old battery died so I swapped my battery from the lexus into the celica. But while I was attaching the terminals, the positive side became loose and started to rub against the battery terminal, creating sparks and some smoke. I finally tightened it down (both the + and -) and tried starting the car. Didn't work. I loosed the - end, and the car then had power...but now the alarm doesn't work anymore.

SO...

You think that smoke and sparks may have fried my alarm? I haven't had time to inspect it yet, but I'm hoping it's a blown fuse somewhere...but does anyone else have any idea what else I should check? All other electrical systems seem fine (haven't tried audio yet)....
