I replaced the alternator and went to start the car and nothing happened. I checked for battery power, cleaned the posts and cables, the headlights and horn and turn signals work. No radio, and no dash lights. The car dings when the key is put in the ignition. Kindof at a loss. Checked the connections on the new alternator. Still nothing. Any direction u could point me in would be great.

All the fuses are good. Have power everywhere I need power. No real voltage drops either.
