So basically, I just recently relocated my battery to the trunk. I was able to use the car for a couple of days, then it was completely dead. It would not turn on. I jump started the car, when I turn the ignition to On there are very loud clicks but the car will not start.

I have the interior electrical system connected to a distribution block by a 4 gauge cable, and the alternator/starter to the distribution block as well by a 4 gauge cable as well.

How can I fix this problem? (I was thinking to splice the alternator cable and directly connect it to the distribution block)

check battery.
Check for parasitic drain.
Check to make sure alternator is charging.

search for other people with the exact same issue. this comes up twice every week on zilvia.net

Maybe you could spend 30 minutes of hard reading on the internet, then troubleshoot accordingly.

sounds like a bad connection some where

the length and the size of wire gauge matters. im pretty sure it has to do with flow of current. theres a formula but can not rember right now.

it was a bad connection. wat would be the best way to connect the starter/alternator & fuse box to the positive terminal wire?

so i fixed the connection problem, and used a different ground (at the spare tire). the car will not start. oh and ive researched it for days and tried different things. the car will turn on. everything works lights, radio, windows, and others. when i try to start it, it won't crank. there's no sound or anything. wen i turn to start everything turns off - lights, radio, windows- but wen i turn it bak to on everything goes back on again. I dont know wat else to do....

Check your fuel pump

Ever thought about a starter?? jus sayin.... if you fixed the circuit problem and now it makes no sound what-so-ever and doesnt crank at all it may be the starter. have you tried getting a plastic or rubber handled screwdriver and touched the starter terminals together? When you turn the key all the way over to the "start" pos its going to kill everything, at least mine does... but it starts lol

I've also had this problem before with just a bad plug to the starter. check plugs/wiring to starter.
