Try to figure out why my mom’s car isn’t getting any power… the battery is fine & hooked up properly… all the fuses look fine…

🤷🏻‍♂️

Just from reading. Does it click. Could be the starter.

Nothing

No clicks

No lights come on when the door is open

No power at all

Maybe the Negative battery cable. Sometimes those just go bad.

If the connections are fine it's likely okay

They seem fine

Is there a way to tell that?

If they are clamped tightly and you dont see a bunch of corrosion

Some corrosion but I cleaned em up pretty good when I put this battery in a few months ago….

Ahhh not really. What car is it. The starter can be stuck. First of what car we talking about here hahaha 😆

2011 Mitsubishi eclipse gt

Ok its not doing anything. If you are sure its not a dead battery. It can be the starter. Find it and have someone bang on it while your turn the key gottabe banging and turning the key at the same time. Check if any belts broke like alternator belt. If not it has to be a fuse or the battery itself

Apparently there was something wrong with the battery… I think I was sold a bad battery… got a exchanged it for a new one and it started but I found bigger issues… one of the two belts broke… probably need to replace them both

2nd fuse box?

I checked both fuse boxes everything looked fine

Then take a multimeter and go all the path, test voltage battery, 1st fuse voltage, next fuse voltage...

Trace the path to see where it is interrupted

This is the best

Even if a single fuse is out I should be getting at least some power elsewhere in the car right?

If it has a shifter make sure its in park all the way.

What is the battery voltage ?

14

That's good

Yes, make sure it is in park. Otherwise it could be the starter. I think you hit the started to free it. Also I thibk you can jump the starter by grounding it

Like there’s no power at all

Putting the key in and trying to start the care does absolutely nothing no dash lights no beeps clicks nothing

Try to trace the voltage ... The best you can

Do the squirrels need to be fed?
