So I put the motor back together, reconnected the battery, all I have to do is put on the acv block off plates which are being made, and put on the airbox. I put the key in and turned it to ACC so I could flip the headlights up and get at the emissions muffler under the passenger light. I hit the light button... the ACC beeping stopped, and now nothing works.

I could use a little help.

anyone?

I'm thinking a fuse went out, but I wanna figure out what caused the fuse to blow, If I put in a new fuse, it will just blow again.

I need to know pretty soon

Sounds like a Big ol' short.

One time I connected a buzzer between the battery & the cable.
Then started pulling fuses until it stopped.

You will be working in reverse, but a headlight or horn in the battery circuit will come on when you hit a short.

Can you explain this a little better, I'm new to this. What exactly am I looking for, a bad wire, blown fuse? I am so close to getting it running again. There is literally nothing working at all, no beeping, no lights, even tried to start the motor. There is no sound at all.

wtf is going on here?

UPDATE:

I curcuit test the battery and the "main" fuse, both light up, so both are fine. I still have no lights, brake lights, or any other power.

WTF!

Did you put the battery connectors on backwards? This might have caused a big short. Check your main fuse in the engine bay and check all your other fuses while your at it.

I'm guessing that a large something has to be wrong. There is literally no power to anything at all. both battery terminals are on pos and neg accordingly, is that what you ment?

yea thats what I meant regarding the battery terminals. There are a few electrical gurus on the forum maybe they can help you out. Good luck.

OK SOMETHING IS REALLY FUCKED UP NOW!!!

When I am in the car, with the door closed, and turn the key to ACC, it beeps, but the cd player flickers. As soon as i open the door, the beeping stops, and so does everything else that worked. But when i close the door, the beeping starts again and the cd player flickers. Even if i try to turn the headlights on, tap the brakes, turn on interior light, cd player, or anything, it just stops beeping and nothing works.

Battery is fine, main fuse is fine, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, WTF IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR?

Are you sure the battery has power? I know it sounds simple but stranger things have happened.

Try sanding down the battery terminals with a file or sand paper. Sometimes rust can build up on the terminals and cause a weak/faulty connection.

OMG I AM A ******* IDIOT. Lol it was the battery.

Thank you so much
