DC racing headers

I installed my dc racing header with downpipe couple days ago and i accidently burn the 02 wires by leaving it too close to the headers

. So after i redid the wires my alternator doesnt seem to work and my mph and rpm doesnt work at all. I checked the fuse and the wires i redid but doesnt seem like any of it is wrong. I need helpp any suggestion people!

well disconnect the battery for a few mins. let it all reset. if that still doesnt work get the car scanned to see if it is throwing a code!

also make sure you didnt burn any other wires!

I only burned the wires that connects to the headers 02 sensor so that shouldnt mess up the mph or rpm right?

first off, get your o2 sensors away from the header ... the wires might be grounding out your system. make sure they are NOT touching the header

second, look under your steering wheel, near your pedals ... there are a shitload of fuses ... there is one fuse in particular (10 amp) that probably blew if your o2 sensor wires grounded out on your header. replace it.

like some other people said, if you burnt the wires close to the o2 sensor, just replace the sensor. It sounds as if you did rewire everything wrong and now signals are going places they shouldnt and causing other components to not work properly. That is the only thing I can think of.
