no constant power or Interior Lights

[johnny boy 93]

Hey guys, I just finished my engine swap, and everything WORKS!!! the only thing that doesn't () is the Interior lights and power. I have no interior lights, exterior lights or anything electrical inside until the car is started and running. My ABS light also kicks on every once and a while and kick out my stereo, but I think that might be from my rusty rotors . I have 2 cables connected to the positive terminal of the battery should there be 3? Or is it a fuse somewhere? If it is a fuse, can somebody tell me exactly where and what fuse. Thanks a bunch Guys.
John

A blown alternator fuse will cause the problems you are describing.

It is a bolt in fuse, in the right front fuse box.

You may also want to check that the fuse box is recieving power with the engine off. There is a ~10awg wire from the battery to the front fuse box. If it's not hooked up, you will get the same symptom.

Good luck.

Check all your fuses. Under the hood and under the console.

did that and all are good but still no lights. also my middle brake light doesn't work i tried it in my girlfriends car and it came on so theres no power going to that area and can't figure out why, because my other lights do work.

I understand why dsm28 doesn't know that using proper punctuation and caps are REQUIRED in tech sections but you? Come on now, you've been here since 04'.

Check all your grounds. Bad grounds can make some crazy shi* happen...
