HELP!!Electric problem

[innocenttalon]

Well first of all I broke one of the terminals on my battery so I bought a new one. When I put the new one in, none of my accesories worked when my key is in acc. or on position. Things only worked when my engine is on. Then I took my car on a drive and even when its running none of my acc. is working. Then today I started my car and it was struggling, so I turned it off, and it wont start anymore. I change my starter, CAS, and plugs, still nothing. Im thinking I grounded something, blew some fuses, Im also hearing arching(sp) on the battery area, I believe there wasn't any till I change my battery. Im going to check on fuses first thing tomorrow, anything else you guys can reccomend me doing? Thanks alot!

Well i would suggest getting a multimeter and start looking for the problems... I would start with the car on and see what voltage you get at battery then move on from there...

Check your battery connections. If you connector was rusted to the post so bad tht you broke the post off when you pulled the connector, your connector might be corroded not allowing a good connection. I suggest to replace your terminal connectors if they look bad. They are dirt cheap at any auto parts store.

im a car electronics installer theres no magic fix for electrical problems you just have to use a multimeter and trace it but if its a 2g this might work on 1gs it might be the ignition switch under the steering wheel mine had the same problem and that plug was burnt up

Right now I've narrowed it down to either the ignition switch or the fusible link to the alt.
