No power

[JD7Monster]

I'm tryin to help out the guy who bought my car..

He said after swapping over to a new battery the car was fine.
The next morning the car has NO power
nothing..
He says the terminals are new, the battery tested perfect, and everything is grounded fine.
I was thinking it could be a main relay or a solenoid.
He said the car does not have one? any clue?

alternator?

 

[JD7Monster]

the car has no power to anything, no dash lights, he said its like the car doesnt have the battery in it. Except it does?

In the fuse box in the engine compartment, there are some fuses of high amperage. one of those could be out. I believe the one labelled 100A is directly related to ACC power.

tell him to re-check all the connections. i'm willing to bet he overlooked something.

ontop of the high amp fuses our car has 2 relays that are "circuit breakers", there silver and have a hole in them, there under the dash, you pull the relay out put a pin in the whole, if it clicks that means it was tripped. i did this to my car before, check that out

Could try checking the chassis ground, I noticed after a few years the guy I bought the car off of put on a nut that didnt fit so it was loose at the block itself and wouldnt hold a charge after a few years, took me a new alternator and 2 new batteries and a swap to figure it out.

good call, i forgot about that. i was having battery problems last week, and one of those popped, and i had NO power in the car whatsoever. check that!
