Hello 2CarPros
My car had it's battery replaced quite recently with a working battery from a mechanic(I don't know much of the detail's of the type of battery because my mother was borrowing my car and it died on her at her workplace and she put up the cash for a new battery and took it to a our local mechanic). I was checking out the car about 2 weeks ago and noticed that some of the electrical functions of the car won't work. Power Windows, Power Locks, Power Mirror Adjusters Windshield Wipers, the Roof Light, the Dashboard Light, Emergency\Warning Light's and Rear Brake Light's, the Car Radio basically everything inside the car that would normally feed from the battery would not turn on except the car's HeadLight's. The Car turn's on and the Headlight's work but nothing else electrical inside the car works. The truck light wont work either and again the brake lights. Do I need to replace fuses? If so where's a good place to start and reference from.

To have this many items not working, you must have a fuseable link burned out. They are located in one of two relay boxes under the hood. Check each link carefully. If all test good, give us a holler back.
