Most likely you blow the ignition fuse and may have also blown the alternator fuse . Check fuses in fuse box under the hood.

I have a 2002 Mazda protege that sqeals horribly belts have been replaced as has the alternator but the squealing persists now I've had someone watch as I turn the shearing wheel either direction and the belt completely stops turning I believe it is the power steering pully but idk if my diagnosis is correct. 4 Answers

When I turn the stearing wheel the belt completely stops the pully so I'm questioning is it a bad pully or a power steering pump going bad
