yet another fuel solenoid question.....

well i goofed yesterday, while i was finishing up my retorque on my new fire ringged head, i started the truck up, and was checking everything under the hood, and noticed that i forgot to hook up the grid heater wires...ooopppsss, soo i grabbed the wires, and i accidetnally touched one of the wires on the 1st. injector line, truck immediately died, double ooppsss. soo im looking around, checking all fuses, all engine/ fuel system fuses seem to be ok, i go back and try to start the truck, it just cranks over, does not fire. i get my brother to help me, i hold the fuel solenoid arm up, truck fore up, i let go of the arm, it falls, truck dies, .........................soooo the million dollar question is did i fry my solenoid?? im not sure if my truck has the fusible link on it, i switched relays, that did not help. just looking for some help before i go buy another solenoid. thanks all
