Definately,check your owners manual for your underhood fuses

    -could it be something other than a fuse?

    most likely not-all the symptoms-elctrical not working-points to a fuse-very unlikely that all this could happen at once and it be bad wires/connections

Different devices in the car have their own fuses. It is unlikely that they are all blown at the same time.
How old is the car? If old then:

  • Check battery terminals for any buildup of corrosion (this is usually green) which may prevent contact. If you know how to use a voltmeter, then you can check if the battery is actually sending power through the system by placing positive to the battery positive and negative to the engine
Does your car have a sophisticated alarm system? It could be that the alarm system is faulty leading to complete blockage (as a fail safe procedure).

Will a alternator test bad if it's just the alternator fuse?

Yes, if the alternator fuse is blown, it can cause the alternator to appear as if it's not functioning properly when it's actually fine. The alternator fuse is a critical component of the charging system, as it protects the alternator and the rest of the electrical system from overloads and short circuits.
When the alternator fuse blows, it interrupts the flow of electrical current from the alternator to the battery and the rest of the vehicle's electrical system. As a result, the alternator cannot charge the battery or provide power to the vehicle's electrical components.
If you suspect a problem with your alternator but the alternator itself tests fine, it's a good idea to check the alternator fuse and the associated wiring. Replacing a blown fuse can often resolve charging issues and restore the proper functioning of the alternator and charging system.

2009 Chevy Aveo. All my gauges stop working after changing the battery?

Did it start after you changed the battery? Normally you need to reset the security system and immobilizer.

Not having gauges seems to be a known issue,

What to look for? why is this electrical system malfuntioning?

Well that kind of sounds like a bad connection, but it was difficult understanding with no good punctuation... Have you checked the battery terminals? If not, do so, and have your alternator checked too. I've seen some really goofy stuff happen when some vehicles don't get enough power.

Wich fuse for the radio system would you like to replace? There are 6 of them. Your integrated control panel (dash unit) is controlled by the rear electronic module. This is all part of the multiplexed computer network in your car. I would recommend BEGINNING diagnosis of your radio by scanning your computer network for fault codes, then go from there...

Even if there is a blown fuse, this is an indication that there is an electrical failure which must be diagnosed and repaired. Blown fuses do not cause electrical component failures. Electrical component failures cause blown fuses. Replacing a blown fuse without diagnosing and correcting the fault that made it blow will only result in another blown fuse.

Blinkers and stereo stopped working; then started working a while later; next day the headlights started blinking on and off, then stayed on; is this several fuses?

Fuses do not cause electrical problems - electrical problems case blown fuses. You most likely have a bad connection somewhere or a charging system problem that is making the computers do weird things. The thing to do would be to do a THOROUGH check of your starting and charging system FIRST. Then, ONLY if the starting/charging system receives a "clean bill of health", scan your ENTIRE computer network, including the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Antilock Brake System (ABS) module, Body Control Module (BCM) and any other available modules on your vehicle for fault codes and diagnose according to any fault codes retrieved. Please note that a scan of the entire network is recommended because a power-related fault in one module will usually be reported by another module. (The modules rarely ever tell on themselves.) Clues/codes should be collected from ALL modules to aid in an accurate diagnosis.

My wifes 1998 Hyundai Accent died in the parking lot of a shopping center. Since there was no electrical power to any part of the vehicle, no lights, not radio, no turn signals, no horn and no wipers. On...

omi n opa, I have never heard of a fusible link that controls everything but in the engine compartment there is a fuse box usually called a power distribution box. Look for a 100 amp fuse that is connected by a large wire on each side. Check the fuse as this will cause all power to be lost in the vehicle. Replace fuse if blown, if not then please, with my apologies, resubmit your question. Good luck with this.

Replaced A 60am Fuse ,Ran For Two Days. Car Died and now i have no electrial juice to the whole car. suspect fuseable link.

You may be correct about the fusible link. Replacing a blown fuse without finding and repairing the reason it blew only leads to more problems and possible severe damage to wiring harnesses. Fuses are NEVER the CAUSE of an electrical problem. Blown fuses are ALWAYS the RESULT of an electrical problem. I would recommend taking the vehicle to someone who has access to the wiring diagrams and the proper equipment necessary to repair your electrical system. A blown 60 Amp fuse is nothing to play with. That fuse gave up it's life to stop your vehicle from burning to the ground. Please don't make it die in vain...car fires are never pretty!

No eletrical power any where. Battery has a full

Do you have the owner's manual?
I would start by finding out where the fuses for the electrical system are located.
Then you need to find out which one is the main power fuse and try replacing it.
While you are looking at the fuse box, I would pull out and examine the other fuses, a little preventive medicine is cheap insurance down the road.
If that doesn't work your ignition system may have a cut off function that needs to be reset.
I hope that gives you a couple of ideas to work with.

Battery not holding charge

Hi,

From initial indications, your analysis is correct. Pls replace the battery. Of course the only way to validate this is with a new battery.

The electrical system of most vehicles could be divided into two, the charging system and the load. The load would be from the headlights, to the computer and all the electrical consumer of the car. If there is anything wrong with any of the load, the fuse would be blown. On the other hand, the charging system is as its name implies, restores the electrical energy of the battery once the engine is running. If something is wrong (battery not charging), then there would be a warning indicator in the dashboard.

Since you have not reported any of the fuses blown or any of your electrical devices not functioning nor any warning lights, then in all likelihood, it is just the battery.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
