After finishing up two task..like changing my oil, and looping my power steering racket, put a breather on...I tried to turn on my car and the power is out. I check the battery terminals and everything is connected. Ground is good. I never had any prior battery problems.

I'm not getting any electrical power in my dash, interior, lights, everything! What can be wrong? I tried to brack track what I did, and I didn't disconnect anything. What I didn't do is disconnecting the negative and positive cables from the battery while taking out the power steering pump and lines with the terminals still attached.

It's like getting a black out on my car, nothing electrical works! If anybody know what clue is wrong. Please post your answers. I never had any battery problems in the last two years, and I check most fuses and they're ok. Is there a "main" fuse I should check?

Is the car clicking when you try to start it? Like when the battery is dead. Maybe you just left it on start or something too long. The powersteering shouldnt have any effect on the power.

 

That's what I'm saying! It doesn't click nor turn over. I turn on to the power accessories/start and nothing turns on..my dash, interior, cluster, all lights!

 

check fuses and everything.. mine did the same thing and i found that my positive terminal wasnt on all the way.. maybe try to jump it or switch batteries with a friend to see.

 

problem fixed..battery went dead overnight...still under warranty so i got my car started with a new battery! thanks fellas
