car won't start
 
I have no power to anything. The engine won't turn over, no headlights, windows, guages, etc. I took my battery to Autozone and it checked out fine so I charged it last night and installed it this morning and still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should check to get my car running again?

Check fuses, check all the wires, and make sure you have a good conection on the batt.

Turn the key...Just kidding. I would check the wires to the battery, its something electrical, which sux, cause theres so much to check. But start witht he basics.

Which one of the many there are? ;)

I would check your grounds, or at minimum get new battery cables. Positive and negative ones.

The day I found out that it wouldn't start I was able to crank the engine but I let off before it cought and when I went to crank it again that is when I had no power anywhere.

I'd check fuses and ground wires. Easiest solutions.

TAdriver Oct 23, 2007 04:16 PM

I got it running. Turns out that one of the nuts was loose on the positive junction.

That might be a fuse, but no power to ANYTHING would mean multiple fuses I believe. That's why I would say a positive or ground (negative) wire. I'm not sure if the power to the main fuse box (under the hood) is a fuseable link, but that maybe blown, as King suggested. Again, that's if the main line to the box is a fuseable link.

EDIT: heh You posted as I was typing. Glad to hear you got it running. I didn't feel like saying try and tighten the bolts, as to not come across like an ass, since that's the first place to always check :\

I would think you should of checked that before posting this thread.:D My suggestion of checking the fuseable link was based on you already covering the basics. Well anyways good to hear that you figured it out.

So I was right turn the key on. HAHAHA. Just kidding. Glad to hear it was something simple

Thats happened to me before many of times, usually if it hasn't been messed with or modified, then its some thing simple.
