car won't start... help please!!!

last night I parked my car out in the street. but then realized I'll back it into the driveway. so I go back to start my car and nothing. not even a click from the starter. I have power to the windows and lights still. but nothing to the starter. did I blow a fuse?? electrical isn't really my strong point. But I don't want to take it to a shop to get fixed cause this has happened before when I tried to install HID's, then I had no power to anything when that happened. It's kinda wierd that this also happened after I installed strobelights. both lighting systems are ran straight to the battery but the car has been running fine since I installed them three days ago. if anyone has suggestions of where I should start to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. cause with this issue I really need help. thanks

i know sounds stupid check battery voltage..if you can try checking the voltage drop from that battery as you start the car i know it wont start but its worth a try i would also check your alternator fuse its the 75 amp grey fuse in the fuse box near the battery friend of mine blow that fuse and nothing worked in the car try that hope this helps

pull out your volt meter and fuckn check your battery terminals. that should do it. if you have 10 volts or lower you cant start that starter.


you can run a jumper cable from a fully charge battery to your starter see if it starts.

check the amps draw of your strobe light. or you could have a short somewhere.

new problems... the car was starting. but once you turn it off and try again. nothing. the only way to start it is to switch the headlight fuse with the starter fuse. even though they are both 15 amp fuses. (wierd I know, but its the only way to get it started) does anyone know how I could fix this problem?? larger starter fuse maybe?? I really don't want to have to do that procedure everytime I need to start it lol
