the last couple of days my car has been idling really low (like below 500rpms) and wanting to die. i figured it was either the battery or the alternator. so today i changed out the battery with a newer one from my previous maxima but it turns out that it had no juice since it had been sitting around for a month or so i took it out and put the old one back in. well after i did that i went and started the car and noticed that NOTHING WORKS except the motor and a couple dash lights (e-brake, seatbelt) the clock doesn't work, power seats, radio, headlights, door lights, nothing. there was a little spark when i put the cables back on the battery so could i have blown a fuse??? thanks in advance guys! btw my car is a 95se maxima

could be...

Your best bet is to check your fuses. They are on the left side of the dash, where your left knee is when you drive. Pop it open, take a look and check them all. Replace as needed. If that doesn't work, repost, and we'll go from there.
