After vacation, I tried to turn on my car.. it just kept clicking. Anyways figured my battery was bad, so I had it tested and it was bad. So got new battery, installed it..now nothing doesn't turn on. When I put my key in the ignition and try to turn it on, nothing happens at all..literally.. no lights on the dashboard, no cel, nothing. I went back to Advanced Auto Parts to test the new battery and its fine.

Did I blow a fuse? what can it be? I have no experience in ignition/electrical stuff..so I'm clueless..

my car is 99 EM1..

 

you didnt accidently jump the car backwards? or put the posts on backwards? you have both wires on the positive post?

 

I didn't try jumping it.. I'm pretty sure I have the battery connected right... red in the plus and the other with the neg

 

sounds like your main relay went out if nothing is working

 

Wheres my main relay? lol

 

You blew a fuse, I'm pretty sure it's not the main relay. If the main relay goes bad your car won't start but you still have power.

 

Which fuse is most likely to be blown? I went under my steering wheel to replace the ignition coil fuse (15.0) and the starter signal (20.0) .. still no go..

The only thing that happens is when I have my door open and I put my keys in the ignition, it'll do that reminder keys in ignition beep...but nothing else happens..can't turn dome lights or anything..nothing happens when I turn the key..

 

Battery fuse under the hood should be like an 80 or 100 amp fuse bolted into the box.(in the black box to the side of the battery.
also, are you sure the terminals are tight?

 

The 80A and 40A fuses look ok..I looked thru the window and theres still a bridge, they aren't blown.. :-/

 

Double check the main fuse (should be 80A). The exact same thing happened to my girlfriend's car. The only things that worked were the headlights.

 

i know this sounds crazy, but this DID happen to me...

check your battery terminal cables and make sure they are on correctly, tightly, etc. i panicked for about 30 mintues trying to figure out what was wrong with my car when there was NOTHING happening...

turns out the cables werent making a good connection..
