need help civic no power
i just bought a shell recently and everything on it looks good...
it was just messing some odds and ends motor/tranny fuel pump
wheels and some other little things here and there
i swap a motor in.. that i know is still running good... i put everything
together that was messing with oem working part... when i go to
crank it nothing.. i try to turn the lights on nothing honk the horn nothing
it almost like the battery in not connect.. but it is and is new
any one know whats going on with this stupid car!!! the only thing the car
is messing now is a gauge cluster can that be it.. i was under the impression
that it would crank with out a cluster.. when i crank the car i don't hear
anything or see anything moving.. any help would be great..
ohh and all the wire under the dash looks stock /oem looks like it never
been touch... any advice to where i should star looking would be great thanks h-t

Check under the hood for blown fuses and whether the ground wire of the battery is corroded or loosely connected to the body frame.

i got to mess around with it a little today..
some how when i was messing around i got the headlight to turn on for a quick second but it
quickly died after that and i still can get power to anything
no horn no lights its kinda like the battery is not connect
i check the fuse in the bay and the 80a fuse for the
battery is still good.. i think im gonna have to rip out
the dash and see what it could be what else is
connect to the battery?? i'm gonna go get a cluster and put it on to maybe that could be it..
so for a quick wrap up this is whats going one
just got a shell..
install engine/fuel pump/battery
go to crank nothing..
headlights don't work
horn don't work
windows can't roll up
power locks has no power...

Re: (no_rice_please)
Test all the fuses for continuity using a multimeter and also make sure that they fit snuggly into their slot. If the fuses are fine, then the problem is with the battery, battery terminals, battery connectors, battery wires (positive or ground), or under-hood fuse box.

Which part were you messing around with? Most likely the short is in that area.
PS: It's pretty common if the terminals on the battery aren't 100%, for it not to work, and it sounds like thats your problem. Make sure they're clean and on there, and tight, 100%. I've had in the past a few times problems with my '95 EX because the battery terminals weren't PERFECT. You need to use a wire brush to clean both the terminals and the wires, and they need to be tight (no wiggle room), and fully pressed onto the posts.
