After having problems with the engine dying on me i had the alternator checked and now replaced. Now im having problems getting the car to start up. The dome lights are on along with the headlights and dash light. When i turn the key the warning lights (ACC) don't turn on. I dont hear the car clicking to turn on as if there isn't a main connection to the primary ignition wire. I checked the actual wire along with the 75a fuse in the engine bay, which i replaced. All other random fused were checked as well.

What is working: headlights, dome lights, high beam, brake lights, hazards, back lighting for dashWhat isn't working: radio, dash warning lights, such as hand brake, air bag, battery light, pwr windows... from what i see now.

Im thinking it's maybe something with the ignition harness touching but when i checked the harness they were fine. A turbo timer was attemped before and thought i was losing power there.

any help??

check the ground on the alternator. make sure that the ground is on and if so makesure that it is a propper place.

I checked the ground and it seems to be on. When i turned the car the first time i did hear a little click. Now i dont even hear that click from the starter. I returned everything back to normal. There was some coolant that may have spilt on the alternator area since i had to take my radiator out. It was too thick to take out the lower bolt. Is there another fuse i should take a look at?

thanks for the idea
