car is DEAD need help!

[Mikesteezyyy]

So the other day I got home took a shower and got ready for work. I go out to my car put my keys in the ignition and nothing except my inside dome light and my clock turn on. Knowing that my alternator was going bad I bought a new one and changed it but Im still having the same problem. I cant crank it or even turn my headlights on. Ive triple checked all the alternator plugs and wires and cleaned all of the ground connections but still nothing. I just got back from autozone where I had the battery charged and checked and everything checks out. I have no more ideas and my poor baby is just sitting there helpless and dirty af :(
someone please help me so I dont have to borrow my moms car and have my girlfriend pick me up for our date tonight x)

You checked your fuses? I bet the main engine fuse is blown, under the hood. Your alternator fucking up, more than likely popped the main fuse.

Well Ive checked all of the fuses in the box right by the battery...is there a secret fuse box that I dont see somewhere? haha

battery checked and it is ok? tried hooking jumper cables to it and seeing if it turns on that route?

Yeah battery is good and fully charged and yeah tried jumping it and still nothing at all

Starter? Hotwire it directly to the battery and see if it cranks. If so, then most likely a main relay is bad

There is a Relay fuse under the front passenger fender near the battery. Its a dealer part only so you will have to get it from a nissan dealer.

and check your ground from battery to chasis and chasis to motor and motor to chasis

is it one of the fuses in he black fuse box behind the battery, or is there another one somewhere?

I just cleaned it up and VOILA! car starts up like nothing
I knew itd be something small and stupid like this :facepalm:

Glad you got it fixed, but it sounds like you need a lot of experience...not being a dick or anything. The starter realy is not in the box and running a hotwire is easy as pie. just run a wire in similiar guage size directly from the battery to the starter. Postive to postive negative to negative. EASY! As for the relay like I said it is hidden under the pass fender next to the battery. Just do a lot of reading and as you build this car up you will learn!
