Replaced alternator and I have 0 power no lights. Nothing I'm working on it ATM if u got something and I took off the positive cable when I was working not the negative ....

vartok

have you tested the battery?

4dr_Noob

No but it was good like 2 hours ago before I did alternator I'll check now though

4dr_Noob

I don't have a Damn multimeter lol

4dr_Noob

I hooked the battery charger up it doesn't look to be full charged I think I should start tere I guess but I figured I'd still get the lights in the dash to come on since it did when it die over night hmmm

4dr_Noob

Oh and if it is dead wouldnt the starter on the battery charger still start me ?

4dr_Noob

ok the battery is good what can it be?

Did you check the grounds? You don't seem to be doing well with your car AT ALL.

Wrona

check the battery ground can you also stop posting every 2 MINUTES!!!! just edit your original damn post and go from there

4dr_Noob

tell me about it lol it ran perfectly fine till i ****ed up the valve cover all this for painting the valve cover lol and no the ground cable is good

Wrona

you must of touched something else than the valvecover i had thesame thing happen to my car the ground for some reason F-d up and i had to sand part of the paint off and now it works and it just did it randomly

4dr_Noob

i think i might have shorted something out though cause i took the posative terminal off instead of the negative

4dr_Noob

oh wait when ur ground was messed up it made nothing work at all not even even any lights at all came on?

Wrona

nothing it was random i parked the car came out 2 hours later thought my battery died my friend jumped it for 30 minutes nothing at all came on i pushed down on the battery ground and the car started working inside so i removed my fusebox sanded down a little area and put my ground under the fusebox screwholes the battery ground would be a perfect explenation why nothing is working also the battery fuse

4dr_Noob

ill re check the ground 2 maro and the battery fuse looked good u can tell if its bad just by looking at it correct since it has a see through top?

Please create more descriptive thread titles. "No power" could mean a lot of different things. You meant no electrical power. Title edited.

Test the 80A hood fuse.

And buy an inexpensive multimeter.

4dr_Noob
