In order to replace the alternator on my 1995 Avalon, I disconnected the battery. After replacing the alternator, and reconnecting the battery cables, the car won't turn overt. I checked the fuses and they seem to be alright. The starter does not engage. It acts like there is a relay switch that needs to be reset. Thoughts?
Are you sure you have the battery connected right, Red to + Black to -? The connections are tight? Are sure the new batery is good? I've seen that happen before where the battery is new but dead. Try jumping it from another car or put that battery in another car and see if it starts that car. If you have a voltmeter check the battery, it should be about 12.8 volts, then check while trying to start the car the voltage shoudn't drop below 10 volts.
