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.
