My car is electrically dead with new battery

[96TalonAWD]

It started when i was installing a new negative battery terminal. I read somewhere that if you put vaseline in the terminal it will help corrosion so i did that. When i went to turn on the car with the door open is was doing the beep beep sound and the amber light were on
everything normal. I turn the key everything turns off it just died.

Well I went and buy a new battery a clean the terminals to get rid of the vaseline. And no electric power whatsoever in the car. The car is acting like if there in no battery on it. Can somebody help me here?


the fuses and fusible link are ok. i test the fuses with a test light and it lit.

i already check, the only suspicion i has was the ignition fusible link, but still the is no power in the whole car. No amber lights not even the annoying beep when the door open.

make sure your ground is tight, also, have you tried to jump start it?

It doesnt make sense because you jupstart with a weak or bad battery, my battery is brand new?

check little things, like make sure all the battery cables are tight and corrosion free. Check your alternator Fusable link. and have you Alt. tested.

Do this. I had the exact same problem, and I just put a new battery in on Sunday. For me, it was corrosion and a bad connection.

have you checked the relays? Give them a good tap on the top of the relay, it might be stuck or maybe its just blown.

i solved the stupid mystery it was the new terminals i put in the battery. They were color coated to avoid corrosion, but the stupid company coated the part where you bolt the car negative ground cables. I got stuck in traffic like a dumbass when i realized this crap.
