car won't get power

[Finnish~Racer]

i've gone through everything i can possibly think of....
fresh battery, good grounds, checked, rechecked....re-rechecked wires.
what else could it be?
the fuses all were fine?
its not getting any power at all.

 

[Mugenn_civic]

bad alternator....corroded connection on wires that connects to battery...light sand should clear it up if thats the issue...

Did you check your starter?

Did you check your starter?

apparently it's not getting any power whatsoever if im not mistaken, not just trouble starting...i dunno if i understood properly..

also apparently this issue has been causing a shitstorm within the civic community lol... check fuse the 7.5a fuse on the in-dash fuse box #15

main relay?

When I first saw the title to this thread,
The first thought that went through my head was:
"duh, because it's a honda....."

Do the headlights or hazard lights work?

When the key is turned to ON(II), do the dash warning lights illuminate?

What voltage do you measure across the battery posts?

Have you tested the 80A fuse under the hood?

lights and hazards no
dash no.
voltage, no idea. hahaha
and havent teasted it.

i checked the main relay, the 80a one.....what should i have seen?

-Start by checking whether the battery has full charge (12.5V).

-Clean and tighten the battery ground wire connected to the frame.

-The main relay has nothing to do with power distribution. Check the 80A fuse in the hood fuse box using a multimeter.

ok......the battery works in my other car.... it has a full charge.
the ground wire is (yes very ghetto) just raw wire clamped under the truck latch (with the two 10mm bolts.)
and the main relay should be fine, i popped the cover off and the small bridge of copper looked intact.

the 80A fuse is listed as the battery right?

Did you lose power when you relocated the battery to the trunk? If so, double check you wiring job. You should have a multimeter to pinpoint the problem. The battery hot or ground wire may be bad.

Again, a bad main relay would not lead to complete loss of power.

80A fuse 41 under the hood:

 

[Finnish~Racer]

yeah i checked 41.....it looked fine.
and i bought the car with a ghetto relocated battery.
it was getting power when i tried to jump it with the older battery, before trying with the battery from my other car.
the only thing i can think of is the bad cable.....but, idk.

any help guys? bumpity bump

 

[wasagacivicguy]

K swap time?
jks

 

[Finnish~Racer]

i want to, but i have a challenge on my hands with the JDM engine.....i want to make something happen

 

[Finnish~Racer]

so i looked at the #15 7.5 fuse and it was fine, and i took apart the 80a fuse and it looks like it has some corrosion inside the insulation. lol

so i will replace 80a to be safe.
and i didnt clamp down the ground wires on the terminal so i'll be checking that as well.
