ABS/TCS went out when I forgot to disconnect battery :(
 
Realllll ROOKIE move. I was replacing alternator last year and I forgot to disconnect the battery. Sparks were flying and when the car was running again I had no ABS or traction control and the emergency brake light was stuck on.

How expensive of a fix? What did I break? I'm beginner level maintenance. I can change oil, brakes, calipers, alternators, but that's about it.

I'm ready to start fixing my girl up, and need help.

This. Fuse or fusible link. Or a bad connection.

What do I need to test? Is there a guide for which fuse corresponds to my issue? Like a map?

Remove your fuse cover and there should be a diagram

IDK if the fix is gonna be so easy as throwing in a new fuse... I can only dream.

You'd be surprised, and it's the first thing you should check.

Most likely you shorted it and the fuses blew. Cheap and quick enough fix. Pull the fuse box cover that's on the driver's side in the engine bay.
