I was changing the alternator belt in my 94 celica, I accidentally shorted out the alternator . Now i am getting absolutely no power anywhere in the car. I checked the fuses and couldn't find any under the hood or inside that are bad. any help would be appreciated.

What year ? There's generally going to be an alternator fuse protecting the wire if you were to touch the positive to ground. Otherwise you would have continued to spark until the wire burned.

94 i checked the alt fuse it's 100 amp fusible link, changed it and still nothing.

Check voltage at the battery and the alt. if you find something with power and follow it and when you lose power that is where your prob. is
