Ok, well, my dumbass forogt to disconnet the negative battery terminal before cutting into wires
I was trying to wire up my Supra seats, and I went to cut the adapter off the Lexus wiring harness and BAM, sparks and a faint burning smell.
After that I disconnected the negative terminal, kept cutting and splicing, and got it all wired up. Once I got the seat in place, I went and put the negative terminal back on the battery.
Came back, and the car started up fine. But, the seat doesnt work, which could mean bad wiring on my part, but also: the clock is out (odometer is still up) and my steering wheel wont come in/out. Is this a fuse issue? Whcih ones did I likely blow and where would they be? Thanks for any help you can give me! I'm desperate to get this seat bolted in with power to it so I can drive my car again.

Some other things:
AC works, but when I start the car, it wont turn on my itself as it should.
The cabin lights do not function at all.
My power locks will not work.
This sucks

Sounds like its a fuse if everything else is workin correctly. Theres a fuse box on the inside of the car, near where the clutch would be under the dash, and there may be one in the engine bay I forgot. The cover should have labels on it as to which fuse does what and what size they are. Look for the ones that may be near seating and steering column, check to see if it is blown, if it is replace it.
Just a thought, i could be very wrong.

Hey man,
I have the electrical diagram so I will go through it and see where your problems could be related to. You have a 93SC300 right?
Lemme know and I will start the search.
