1990 nissan 240sx with 91 ka24de... so my car was running and i was charging the ac.. everything was going fine and then while charging, my car just died!!! and now it wont start back up.. battery is fine, starter is fine.. none of the dash lights come on and i dont think the ecu is getting any power to it cuz i tried to check the codes but the light was not lighting up. i also checked all the fuses... any ideas?

You probably locked up the A/C compressor. Cut the belt that goes to the compressor (unless it goes around something else too like the p.s. pump) and see if it cranks up. If you were putting the refrigerant in as a liquid and you put it in just a little bit too quick you could have very easily locked it up.

It doesn't do anything when you turn the key? Does s*** inside the car still work like the lights and stuff?

maybe you overcharged your system and the high pressure sensor put out the signal to shut off your ac but it popped a main battery fuse because of age?

u blew a fuse. those are fusible links. they are just fuses. look at the 75amp alternator fuse.
