Why won't my car stay started?

Asked by Pokemaniac Apr 11, 2023 at 07:48 PM about the 2007 Ford Five Hundred Limited

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello I have a 2007 ford 500. I just recently
replaced the battery and alternator. I jumped her
and she started right up as soon as I took the
jumper cables off she died again. The battery
cables are clean and all the wires from the
alternator were put back on correctly. What else
could be causing the problem for this?

My guess is that when you reconnected the battery you blew fuses.
