I have a blown spark plug and I need to change my valve cover gaskets. So, it started just fine and ran but it was loud because of the blown spark plug. Well, I get in the car to take it to the garage and I turn the key and there's nothing no power no click no nothing I checked the battery, I checked the fuse box except the alternator good. Could this be someone told me it could be a seatbelt. What is your opinion?

Hi,

Does anything electrical work? For example, if you turn the headlamps on, do they work? Do the interior lights work? How was the battery tested?

If the headlamps work, try this test.

Let me know what you find. Also, if you have a spark plug that has come out of the engine, you really shouldn't run the engine.

Let me know.
