Hey, I have the car listed above that has a good battery and a brand-new alternator. I turned it on a couple times to move it around, but it seems I can’t start it. No lights or power will turn on. I would like some ideas about what it might be. Please contact me.

Hello,

Generally speaking, when you don't have any power to the vehicle the first item that needs to be checked is the battery and the cables. Make sure the battery is indeed good. Also check for any corrosion on the battery cables and verify that they are secured.

Just so we cover the basics, have you tried to jump start it?
Let me know what happens when you try to do that.

Any questions, feel free to let me know.
Thank you.
