Wait a minute, you do not have any starter installed right now? If not then that is why you don't have any power on the rest of the car.
my starter wasnt in before and i would be able to roll my windows up and things...sso whats different now..im not trying to turn the car on just roll my windows up because its raining like crazy...and to add to it my fuses blow ever time i have the starter on and try to start it and i kno im hooking it up right...thats why i say im having wire problemsjrm81bu said:

Ding!DING!! When I last did my starter, I had no kind of power when I unhooked the starter. I'm guesing the starter cable is part of the power cycle. Interrupt it or take a piece out and the power cycle isnt complete. Im just stabbing at it. But this happened to me. Unhooked the starter and nothing.
Have you even cleaned up those bad grounds yet bruh? Man I would start from the basic, easy and obvious stuff. Those grounds didnt look good at all. Start there before installing the new starter. Make sure all you fuses are good. Check for any loose connections for grounds AND 12v power. OH! and please make sure the batter is unhooked bruh!
1. Clean all the ground wires up and make sure you have nice tight and CLEAN connections.
2 Clean all the power wire connections up.
3 Check all your fuses(get a test light so you dont have to pull each fuse) Check the prong to the right on the fuse. If you check the left tab on the fuse you wont get a true reading) The power comes in on the left I believe. If the fuse is blown the right tab gets no power.
4 Just put some plastic over the window or hit harbor freight up and get a $5 tarp.
5 Dont get frustrated bruh. Its somethin simple I bet. Take a lil break from it and chill. Then come back to it rested and with a clear mind. Its just a car. We will figure it out...
Im almost done with the front end. I had to do the same thing...Just walk away from it for a day or two. Having some probs getting the passenger spring installed. But after a nights rest, i'll hit it refreshed and sh*t will work out...Gotta keep a good attitude about it fam..

Well said Warren! Lol! I bet your frustrated, especially when it's pouring rain and your windows are down. Get them covered and when it clears up you be able to get back on your car. X2, with disconnecting your battery. Make sure to get your starter in and hooked up right. If you need help, everyone here will surely step up and help. Once the starters in, we can help you find your grounds and clean them up. It's all about patience!
did you check the fuible link ????? or the starter solenoid wire on the starter i remember one night in the winter in chicago about 30 below zero weather the starter solenoid wire broke off of the starter on my car and everything went black no lights no power no nothing its possible thats the problem on your car check it out

That shouldn't be the way it works. Iirc the fuse box get it's power from the small wire off the starter because it's tied into the wire coming off the alternator. It the starter is out the lil cable is unattached and should kill ALL the power to the rest of the vehicle.

I may have a Chilton tear down manual for your car. If I find it I will photocopy the wiring diagrams for the engine harness.
There is always your local library to. Many of them have complete tear down manuals you can look at.
