Bumped starter dropping dp

Ok.... Somehow managed to bump it dropping my downpipe. Got a spark when doing so and now the car is completely dead. Did this somehow drain out my battery? Should I expect to have to replace the starter too? Haven't had a chance to jump it yet. I worked on it all day yesterday and went to get something out of the trunk. This is when I realized that my keyfob didn't work, no lights, no juice at all.... Advice/opinions?

look for the fusible link--it should be under the hood, I just don't know where it is on the evo. but its the main fuse for the car and if it blows due to short, as in your case- everything goes dead. Check in out.

It was disconnected, but come to find out it had found it's way back to the terminal. Fail...!

Another Cheyenne EVO!
Check for a blown fuse. Try switching to another good battery and see if it works(Or take your battery to Advance Auto and have them test it).

The main positive battery terminal has a built in fuseable link on it, start there.
