After replacing the alternator and battery, it will not start and there is no electricity at all?

I recently had my alternator tested and they said it was going bad, so I put in a new alternator and battery. I drove it yesterday morning no problem but when I shut the car off it won't start is giving no electricity at all.

Hi:

Recheck the battery terminals to make sure they are tight. If they are, check the ignition 1 or 3 fuse under the rear seat.

Here is a link you may find helpful.

Let me know what you find.

See pic below. Note: I am basing this on the idea that nothing electrical is working.
