    I was removing my upgraged power wires and ground from the engine compartment. I also removed the alarm system, but now the car won't do anything. Yheres no power the only thing that is on is the seatbelt light and it looks kind of dull. I put the key in turn it either way and get nothing. Its like there isnt a battery in the car

    Well, retrace all your steps.

    Double check all power the grounds that would lead to a possible loss of all electronics, like the main battery cables.

    Also check ANY major fuse that you may have popped.

    I checked all the maxi fuses. When i connect the battery i can hear a relay click in the fuse box. I tried a jump so it isnt the battery. Is there suppose to be a ground from the battery to the side of the frame where the fender is located?

    Photobucket is doing maintenance so I cant upload pics at the moment, but I only upgraded the wire from alt to bat, negative bat to chasis, chasis to alt ground. As they are all removed and back to stock the only thing that seems strange is there isn't a wire going from negative battery terminal to the chasis. I cant remember if I originally removed it IF there was one to begin with. I didn't do the trans wire.
