No Power

Post by waynep »

Help

With a fully charged battery installed I have no power except where the cable connects to the starter
All of the fuses seem intact, there is no fuseable link at the battery positive cable
I had the car at the paint shop, they removed the battery and charged it, I drove the car home - 2 days later the battery was flat when I tried to charge it wouldn't go past 50% I had the battery tested and replaced It was faulty

There is a Fusible Link at the battery positive cable but it's hiding in the cable conduit. This powers almost everything. The starter cable doesn't have a Fusible Link so this might be you only have power here and nowhere else.

Did you put the battery in the right way after you put in the new replacement?
