I thought my battery was dead because I had no power at all. I put my battery charger on the battery. It showed fault. I thought the battery was bad. I put a new battery on and still no power to anything, including the ignition.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BATTERY CABLE MIGHT NOT BE CONNECTED.

Bad battery cables for sure. Could need a simple cleaning, or a replacement.

MAKE SURE THE CABLES ARE CONNECTED TO THE PROPER TERMINAL. POSITIVE TO POSITIVE, NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE.

Hey all. I have a 1975 Corvette C3. I just did something stupid. I pulled my alternator to have it checked; however I did not disconnect the battery. As I disconnected the battery cable from alternator, it arc'ed badly. After having the alternator checked, upon reinstalling it, I have no power at all. I'm trying to determine which fuse, or relay, or whatever I have blown. Any help is appreciated. I do not have a fuse box layout. Thanks Apostle Smith 2 Answers
