No power after battery change

[sswallie]

Hey all,

I replaced the battery in my '85 recently, and after I finished I have no power anywhere.

I tested the battery and it's got juice, but I get nothing when I put the key in etc.

I tested all of the fuses, and they are all good. I'm wondering where to start poking/prodding/testing next?

SS, check that main fuse again friend. You know where it is right? To the left of the start relay inside a square black case held by the rubber banded thingie. One is active and one is the spare.

Try cleaning the copper ends of the - & + terminal wires. Junk the nuts and bolts that came with battery and replace them with Allen type stainless steel nuts. Also cut 1/2 in of plastic tubing that came with the battery and place it behind the nut. Makes installing the bolt a lot easier.
