Yea the battery has power we tried jumping the car wouldn't work I have a battery tester and it said the battery full soo I have no idea wtf is going on I cant get anything to work
Do you know where the alternater ground wire is so I can look at it? Only wire I have found of ground is the battery ground that goes to the engine itself tried seeing if that was the problem but still no power tomorrow I'm getting the 30 and 40 amp I. The engine bay fuses replaced see if that changes anything

Ok is their power to the battery side of the fuses? Next check the other side then head to the fuse box. Oh yes the alternator ground goes to the battery.

Anyhow check the wires for corrosion. They look good on the outside but may be broken in the middle. First try seeing if the wires have electric. If the battery side of the engine fuse box has power it is not the ground. Check the wire from the battery to the fuse box.

I feel like I'm no help at all like I really have no.clue wtf I'm doing I'm just looking at anything that looks wrong just weird how my car just died like that and when I was taking the postive cable off my car got some power to turn the lights on 2 times but just stoped and cant find the problem just stumps me

There is no ground wire to the alternator.

Do you have jumper cables? If so, you can use them to bypass your ground wire. Take the negative battery cable off of the battery. Hook one end of the jumper cwble to the negative battery post. Now hook the other end of the jumper cable to the engine (a good place is the hook used for pulling the engine, right next to the alternator). Still no power? Move the jumper cable from the hook to a bolt on the body of the car. If you still have no power after this, then the negative battery cable is most likely NOT the problem.

To diagnose further, you really need to get a multimeter, or at least a test light. Without the proper tools, nobody here will be able to help you.

Soo if I hook the jumper cables to the battery and to the ground on my car and get power its the ground? Your saying

[btwilson86]

Yes, but reading your last post it sounds more like you have a bad connection on the positive terminal since you said you briefly had power when removing the positive cable

thats good trouble shooting BT

Like the ideal of using a jumper cable as a ground wire. Wish I would of thought of it and guess I missed the part about the terminal. Yes it would be the first thing checked. I would think they are corroded as well. He did say something about a ground wire being off.

With luck it was a loose dirty terminal and a lesson to people to do the simple maintenance. Yea BT you got me beat on troubleshooting.

Ok soo this fusible link thingy lol where is it I thought it was a fuse but I was wrong I know its supposed to be before the 1st fuse box so where is it?
