2000 Cadillac SLS Repair Question
I accidentally sparked fuse box while jumping my seville off
Thanks Todd
Answer
relays dont blow, fuses do. there job is to save the circuit in case of a short. use a test light to check.

THIS MAY BE ONE OF THOSE DEALS WHERE YOU MUST COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE BATTERY A FEW MINUTES
WHILE IT'S OUT, CHARGE IT FULLY---OR REPLACE IT WITH A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY
THE COMPUTER MAY BE RECOGNIZING THE LOW VOLTAGE ISSUE---AND MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE FULL VOLTS UNTIL IT IS "RESET" BY THE COMPLETE DISCONNECTION AND BEING REPLACED WITH A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY
"JUMPING" AND/OR "CHARGING" THE BATTERY WHILE STILL CONNECTED.....MAY CHARGE THE BATTERY
......BUT THE COMPUTER WILL STILL BE "HAYWIRE" UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED....LAST TIME NOW!.......AND A FULLY...FULLY...COMPLETELY CHARGED UP BATTERY IS INSTALLED
SOME VEHICLES WILL "BUST OFF" AND RUN AFTER EXPERIENCING A LOW BATTERY. AFTER IT'S UNDERWAY, MANY TIMES THE SYMPTOMS OF THE COMPUTER NEEDING TO BE RESET PERSIST. SOMETIMES THE GAUGES AND OTHER SYSTEMS START GOING CRAZY......BUT YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW

Here are the fuse legend
Thanks for all replies. Though helpful yet still didnt solve my issue. I checked all the fuses to find none had blown. Then I took the battery out and charged it . but still to no avail. So heres a little more info maybe that will help. I never thought it relavant but it just maybe About a week before The issue came up I had gotten into a fender bender in car.. Minor damage to hood at best and drove the car home and once more when as posted left the lights on. Had someone advise me it could been a sensor damaged from accident that took a minute to burn out What do you think? As well I dont hear fuel pump running .. Is it in gas tank ? could it somehow be the saftey reset that somehow took a minute to trigger. Where is it located? Thanks again for all the help
You should be checking to see what is missing causing the non starting.

Above link explains what to look for.
System does not use any safety reset switch.
Did you check the oil level?
Have you tested the fuel pump to see if it is good?
