So ever since I pulled the car out of storage this year, when i start my car none of the power options (windows, locks, climate control, radio, dash lights or gauges) operate. There is absolutely no power to anything until i tap the throttle to give it a little rev, then it seems to jump alive, and everything starts to work again. I just replaced the battery and had the alternator checked so I dont know what could be causing this. The power locks also dont work after the ignition is turned off, which they did before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

check your fuses and relays

Im going to test them all this week. Before i replaced the battery, I had the old one on a trickle charger. The battery was able to start the car and drive for a bit, until the battery was too low and the car wouldnt have any power and would almost stall out. Recently while I was driving it with the new battery the car did the same thing and had not enough power to restart. If the alternator checked ok and its a new battery, what would cause that?

I'll check that, I've searched a little and its underneath the fuse box? or buried in the fuse box under the hood.

I inspected all fuses and relays etc. and found the 100amp FL was blown (soo small of a crack i could barely see it) Gunna pick one up tomorrow and see if that fixes the problem.

You got a 100 fuse amp? you sure it's not suppose to be 75?

Its a fusible link. I have 100amp 75amp and 45amp.... i dont know what they all are specifically for but the 45amp one runs power to the headlights and possibly other things too

I thought so. Good find.
