Default weird...no power..

I have like the worst luck with my delsol, I just got this thing running yesterday and today no power. The battery is 4 days old. nothing turns on except the horn and the hazards. So far I've checked fuses and connections but nothing seems to be out of place or broken. Any body have an idea of what else to do??

Does the starter click over? Make sure you battery connections are on tight. I had this happen to me once and it was because the terminal was painted and wouldn't make a good connection.

I first suspected the altenator when the car was running and started to lose power but I already tried using a battery starter and still nothing. no interior power or anything. Just the hazards work and the horn. I even switched computers

b4 the car is started and running the car runs off the battery. 12.2-12.6 volts are cranking voltage. if the radio dosent even turn on the battery is probably near close to dead. if the batt. is new and u have this problem ur alternator seems to be not charging. if the alternator dosent put out enough output to run the cars engine/accesories the car will take the needed voltage from the battery to suffice until the batt. is drained. if ur alternator is fine check the alternator wiring. if that checks through the onlything i can think of is parasitic load [uses voltage when the key is out to keep memorie cells alive for the radio/other]
best of luck hope this helps

I'll try checking the altenator's hook up, but I'm sure something else is the problem since I didn't get anything with the battery starter added.

have you actually tried to jump the car and keep it running when it is hooked up with cables to another persons car?

Go back and check all of your connections on the engine harness and your fuses inside the car and in the engine bay.

Just to make sure. Take a break from time to time. I bet it will come to you.
