1992 Toyota Corolla

The other day my car wouldn't start, so I jumped it and it started. The next day it wouldn't start again, so I tested the battery and it was fine. I did notice some corrosion of the battery terminal connecter, so I bought a new one and replaced it. I then turned on the ignition, and the car wouldn't start, but the radio and lights were working properly- then everything quit working. Now nothing will turn on or work. Any suggestions where to go from here?

Yes I think it is a connection issue, corrossion or a bad cable. Also possible that it is a fuseable link in the fuse box next to shock tower.

What terminal did you chenge + or -?

I changed the positive one and like I say, no lights or the radio or anything is working. I'm pretty sure I checked all the fuses there are to check and none of them appear to be blown. Also, I know very little about fixing cars, should I continue to try stuff on my own or just tow it to a shop? Thanks for your time and help!

Check all the fuseable links and fuses in the fuse boxes.

If you find nothing, then tow to a shop.
