I have charged the battery and I am getting nothing in the car. I checked the ground cable and it’s tight but have a hard time getting to the starter. Is there anything else I can check?

Hello,

Just to clarify, after you put new battery in, you do not have any power inside the car? No dash light or radio?

There is a 120A fuse in the fuse box under the hood (see diagram), check to see if that is blown. This is the main battery fuse.

Let me know what you find.

Thank you.
