My son was attempting to install a new stereo and the main power wire (which he forgot was not taped off) touched the metal casing around the stereo while we were driving to get more 7.5 fuses to replace the ones he had blown.

The entire car lost power and it will not take a jump start.

PLEASE HELP!
