Hi all,
I'm a newbie with an ignition problem on my 98 Frontier. I pulled my instrument cluster for a non-related problem and forgot to pull the key out of the ignition (bonehead move, I know). When I did, I shorted out something. The gauges went dead and nothing happened when I turned the key. I found a fuse that I had fried, replaced it, and now the gauges light up again and it turns over, but it won't start. Is there another fuse or relay that I could have burnt up, or is this a computer issue?

Thanks Frontierguy! I actually did check (and swapped out) all the fuses (under the dash and the hood). Outside of the one I fried, all of them were fine. Didn't think about the ECU though. It's at the shop and they haven't gotten to it yet. I'm gonna trek down there in the morning. Thanks again!
