Need help. Car is dead.
Hey guys, yesterday I started my car for a few minutes. It started right up and ran fine. Today I went out got in the car and put the key in, turned it, and all went black.
I pulled the battery and took it Autozone, they tested and charged it. Said it was good to go.
I got home, put the battery in, still no power. No lights...nothing.
Ideas?

My first thought would have been a dead cell, but it could be the fusible link.

its on the positive battery cable, put the meter on the ohms scale make sure no power is going to the fuse, then put the meter leads on either side of the fuse, and see if the meter needle moves also if you use the 12 volt scale and with power to the fuse, see if you have voltage on both sides of the fuse
