Alternator went out changed it and when I went to go hook up battery I noticed that the positive and negative terminals were hooked up wrong positive to negative and negative to positive. So redid terminals still no power then I realized that the ignition had been tampered with. Changed entire ignition still no power

It sounds like you blew a fuse. I would start by following this guide.
Where can I find a fuse diagram? The dashboard lights have gone out twice in the past few months. Our mechanic doesn't remember which fuse it was. Instead of paying him more $$$, I want to find out which fuse it is myself. Also, what else could be causing this recurring problem?

Hello,
I have all of the fuse boxes (below). When fuses keeps blowing, a shorting has occurred somewhere and if it is intermittent, then it could be a wire that has been bared due to abrasion. Check if the fuse capacity is correct. Using a fuse below the specified value would cause the same problem.
