No Electricity Car battery is good. Cables are good. Starter will not turn over or click. No lights when you open the door. 0 electricity. Fuses are all good including the battery fuse. Is there a main fuse that controlls everything? I do not have a book for this car so I have no idea if all the fuses are located in the fuse boxes or if there is a main inline fuse somewhere.

Two things I can think of:

1. The ground strap fromthe engine to the chassis is disconnected, corroded, broken or otherwise not grounding. This would also be true if you had the NEGATIVE battery cable replaced with a "generic" black cable that didn't have a "pigtail" on it, which goes to the chassis ground.

2. The battery may indicate 12 V, but the post may have a crack inside the battery.

3. ok, a third: The battery cable connection(s) are dirty. Remove each cable and clean them and the posts; try again.

I really hope this helps!

02pt cruiser replaced battery and starter, started clicking when starting it and now won't start or click. Nothing on dash lights up but battery is charged

Clicking when you try and start means either that there is not enough electricity getting through to the starter or the starter is defective,
If the battery is charged and you're getting nothing on the dash as well, that means that something in the connection from the battery to the rest of the car is not conducting the electricity. Check your battery terminals for corrosion and the battery wires for damage, Check your fuse panel for blown fuses. Ask the shop that replaced your starter,

Why doesnt my pontiac g6 turn on it makes no nois eor anything and i checked the battery alternator and starter but not the ignition switch

Not enough information.
Is the car completely dead electrically, or does it do things like:
-interior lights operate when door is open
-dash lights operate when key is turned to 'run'
-starter turns when key is turned to 'start'
If you have no electrical power to anything, I would definitely start checking under the hood first. A voltmeter is the tool that will help you the most here.
-Battery terminals tight, battery not dead, cables (both power and ground) carry current where it belongs (zero ohms). Tight electrical connections everywhere.
- The underhood fuse panel contains nearly all the fuses, fusible links, and relays needed for your engine to run. Checking with a voltmeter is quicker than pulling and visually inspecting components.

98 Pathfinder All Electrical in Vehicle Gone.

I would go with the corroded cables. You would have power to everything even with the alternator out of the truck.

I tried to start my car this morning. There was no electricity at all and i mean at all, The power locks won't even work nothing. The car won't start, it's perfectly silent when you turn

You would need to use a meter or test light to find out what exactly is dead. It could be a short in the fuse box, or a bad connection in the harness, or at the battery or starter.
You may need a repair book or shop manual to get the wiring diagrams.
If nothing on the truck works, you would start at the battery cables and work back to the key switch.

My 1995 saturn sl1 has no electricity. Battery tests good, I tried to start it this morning and heard one single 'click' sound then all power went dead. No horn, lights, etc. I checked the fus

The first thing I'd check would be the starter solenoid. I'm not familiar with the location on that particular model, but it'll look like this:


6_28_2012_2_41_07_am.jpeg
There will be a positive lead running from the battery to the starter solenoid.

Solenoids are usually fairly cheap (<$20), and because they die eventually in older vehicles it can be handy to have a replacement on-hand. As a result, buying one as a first step to diagnosing an electrical non-start issue really has no downside. If it fixes the problem, you know the cause. If it doesn't, you have a small, cheap replacement part you're almost guaranteed to need at some point in the future.

If, however, it is not the starter solenoid, you likely have (in order of ease of fixing) a locked-up starter (hit it hard with a hammer and attempt to start the vehicle again), a bad starter, or significant corrosion in the electrical leads running between your starter and the battery and/or solenoid.

The next step would be to remove the starter and take it to an auto parts store for testing. In the event it tests good, you'll want to test the resistance of the battery cables. Frequently there will be signs of corrosion somewhere along them in the form of bulging or split insulation and accumulations of white powder around and between the strands of copper inside the cable. Unfortunately, external signs of corrosion are not always present even in cases where significant corrosion resistance has built up in one or more electrical cables.

My pick up nissan 1995 doesn't start no electricity at all charged battery checked fuses are working

you sure the battery is truly good right / ...then you may have a bad cable or simply corroded enough to cause this also there is a fuse at the negative open it and see if it is in fact god otherwise its either battery cables or possibly the starter itself possible even the key switch and you checked the crank fuses in the fuse box and all are good . try using a test light with the key on and see if any juice is at both ends of each fuse ...clean the cables and starter cable connections
