Re: 1994 lumina apv shorted
I'd wonder. If it was the sensor that the computer uses, it would have shorted the ECM to ground. They don't like that.

follow up
ok i may be playing with fire here but the positive wire that i saw short out to the ground wire i jumped a new positive to the end of this wire. my thinking was if there is a fusible link or something i couldnt see without gutting the wire harness i would supply power back through the line to see if everything powers back up. well it worked probably not the right answer but might help someone off the side of the road.

Re: 1994 lumina apv shorted
the fuseable links are located at the starter, where the main battery cable bolts to it. Also check the underhood relay/fuse center to see if one of the Maxi-fuses are burnt.
