X reg ford focus won't start Sign In

A friend of mine was taking the alternator off to clean it up, but he didn't disconnect the battery first! Then something blew n smoke came up, then when he cleaned the alternator and connected it back on, it wudnt start and the hazard light stays lit red inside the car and the hazard lights are not flashing. But when you turn it over you can hear the pump kick in but it's not starting. Any help greatly appreciated.

That boy needs to have his car taken away. Cleaning an alternator? What the hell was he thinking. You don't clean an alternator.
Check all the maxi fuses and fusible links.

Are you going to take my advice or your neighbors?

I've already told you what to check.
