I decided to move my battery to my trunk (dry cell) in my 01 S2000 because it wont fit under the hood once I install my lovefab turbo kit. anyways, after the installation, all of the lights worked, but when i hit the start button, i heard a loud POP (i thought it might be a blown fuse) and everything went off. NOTHING in the car works at ALL. I checked the fuses, the battery is fully charged, there are no loose connections. Does anyone have any ideas? could it be ECU related?

Well Kyle Ritchie, have you determined if you've got power going to the starter when you press the start button? Do you have power going to the starter solenoid?

 

Well if nothing works, I would guess a blown fuse, [main] or a bad connection, have you tested for power under the hood where you made the connection of the extended batt. lead to the place where the batt was connected when it was up front. BTW haw did you do that, what gauge is the wire/cable running from the batt. and where did you connect it? 94

I second that a loud pop sounds like arcing. I assume you fused very close to the battery? yes? What value fuse or breaker did you use?
