Alright guys so heres my problem. This week im back on break so i started to do some work on the talon. I buttoned up my interior and my battery relocation. I feel like this is a really newb problem but i have absolutely no power to anything right now. Its a new battery but i thought because it had been sitting it had died so i hooked the charger up and still no power at all. I used a distribution block for all the cables going to the positive terminal. and i just hooked everything that when to the negative terminal to the frame as a ground. Now do you think i need more grounds or what? thanks for the help guys.

It looks like the one wire that you have in the distribution block is grounded but I'm not sure I labeled it as where does this wire go?

So you have positive power run to the alternator, fuse box, and starter?
The starter grounded? (Which it looks like you mentioned above.)
The battery has a good ground? (Which it looks like you mentioned above.)

I would say go to WalMart and pick up a cheap GE multimeter for $15 or so and start prodding stuff to make sure all your connections are solid.


I would also advise on making sure you don't have any wire strands sticking out of the distribution block just in case it gets grounded out on accident.
 
Why not try putting battery and everything back to stock and seeing if the battery is even your issue. See if you can fix the problem with the stock set up. I know people have had issues with messing up an ecu while messing with the battery, but I do not think that would cause total outage of power.

I would go back to stock and work my way back to find the issue.

Goood luck
