Im in NE philly, I have a 91 240sx. If anyone could gimme a hand figuring this out, none of my friends can figure it out. and neither can I. just put the engine all back together, and now the car has no power at all. the battery has 12.8 volts, but its not getting to the front of the car, the battery is relocated to the back, the car ran for 5 months with that battery relocation, so dont tell me that the wire is too big or too small blah blah blah.

sorry lol

but yes, itd be good for some help.

Have you checked the continuity in the wires? You can also try to check what the voltage is from the fusebox in the engine bay to the chassis/engine.. If that's good it could be the main power fuse that blew or something..

Check your grounds? Recheck all the wiring for the relocation?

Exactly what i was about to post. I think you missed something somewhere when putting it all back together. Slowy, & carefully go back over everything.

When everything is put back together, do your hazards work? Or do you genuinely have no power?

It would probably help/speed things up if you listed what you already checked.

check your fuses
