Angry Starting Problem

I have a 93 that has a issue. I hooked up a switch to manually turn on the electric fans and inadvertantly crossed wires. The fuse panel slot where I ran the hot lead is no longer hot (the fuse didn't blow) and the truck no longer starts. The engine turns over but no go. Any ideas?

I'm thinking crossed wires will only cause the fan to run backwards......
What fuse did you hook into. Check all the fuses.

When I hooked up the toggle switch, I connected the power to the power side and the gound to the wrong post. So I zapped the wires and switch. Now there is no power in the fuse panel where the fuse plugs in. Actually, there are several dead where the fuses plug in.

How do I find the blown fusible link? I have looked around and at the wiring and nothing seems toasted.

Sorry, didn't mean to send ya searching. I don't really know, I just know I've see n them around the engine bay in my 84' and that they act as weak link.
Not sure what would cause you to blow other fuses as well in the box.

I'd say maybe find a schematic for the fuse box to see where the wires lead to. Could lead to the same place at one end for the other fuses you blew.
