Default Crank, but no start

Hi, I've searched the forum to see for any similar troubles and didn't find any.
Sorry for my english, ill do my best to explain myself

I have a honda civic 97 Dx Manual 1.6
I installed a killing switch on the main relay on the Fuel pump wire. it worked really good until I moved the switch to install my new radio and I have left the switch loose behind the radio.

I tried to turn off the car using the killing switch and I accidentally Shorted the switch on the dash frame. I saw a spark and the motor died right away.

Now I have no spark, no F/p priming the fuel line, no ObdII reading. the car cranks normally but wont start.

I've checked the ignition / fuel injection fuses, fire/ fuel.

Ive replaced the Main relay passenger side (7 pins)
Ive tried with another Ecu, still no Dtc's reading
I have removed the killing switch, closing the fuel pump loop.

Now, I don't know what to look for, is there any fuses I missed, Grounds I can look for?
Anyone got this problem ? I know its my fault. No need to tell me

Thanks guys

Dave

you may have burned out your fuel pump. First, double and triple check that all your fuses are good. Also, check/replace your fuel pump relay.

when you first turn the key to the "on" position, you should see the Check Engine Light (CEL) come on, and you should hear a click (coming from the passenger side foot area), followed by humming for 2 seconds. You should hear another click at which point your CEL should turn off. If you are not hearing the humming, then your fuel pump is not priming the system for ignition

I hope someone else can also offer some input to help you out.

So I found my problem. I burned the main relay passenger side (7pins)
He was clicking so I didnt go past that. I opened the case, and all whats left was the clicking device, everything else was burned.

I also had Srs fuse witch control the Fuel pump in case of crash, if airbags open, the fuel pump cut..

I hope it can help someone in the future.

Thanks

dave
