Hi, i have a problem with my 2010 hyundai accent! The battery was dead so i changed it for a new one. Now the battery light stays on and no accessories are working ( radio, heater, power windows). I know that a battery light means the alternator is dead but would it cause all accessories to stop working, or is my problem coming from a bad fuse or wire. Where do i have to start looking?

Thank you

Look in the instrument panel fuse box and check the CLUSTER FUSE (10A).

I would check the main power fusible link 125 amp which feeds to alternator and the accessories. Here is a guide to help you with the testing and the location of the fuse in the images below.
