Default Alternator Removal -> Spark -> Dead Car

- As the title says, I swapped my alternator today and I stupidly forgot to disconnect the battery ground terminal.
- I got an arc/spark and then disconnected the alteratior terminal.
- Installed everything and now the car is dead. No Lights.
- There is still continuity between the alternator and battery.
- Battery reads 11v and change
- But when I turn the key... Nothing no lights. Absolutely nothing.

- I plan on checking all the fuses.
- What else could I check?

11 volts is too low. Should be in the high 12’s
