Q: The car has no power.

asked by on January 02, 2017

My car has no power what so ever the lights won't turn on nor will the radio. I have put the battery on a charger and let it charge and have even put a new battery on it and still no power anywhere. The cables are clean and no fuses are bad.

My car has 170000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
