Default 1999 4runner

I just replaced the battery on the car cause my daughter said it was probaBLY DEAD SINCE IT WOULD NOT START EVEN WITH JUMPER CABLES. sO WITH A NEW BATTERY I get nothing. Is there a major fuse or??? And it is not reversed ( + - ) since the new battery is in the same location and the cables do not seem long enough to fit if the battery was put in backwards.

thanks

Default reply to my request

Wll since no one had any ideas for me nor responded I went to a local garage where it was suggested I check the main fuses. The 100 amp alt fuse was blown, To remove it required taking the fuse box apart and unscrewing 2 small bolts holding the fuse in place and then reassembling everything. Needless to say what a **** poor design to have a fuse that is not easy to simly pull and pop in a new one. Even the mechanic I spoke with mentioned it was a 1hour book charge.

Never had this with the Mercedes forum I belong to ....

AT least you got it sorted in the end. How much did it cost you?
