    Starter/ iginition problem

    So I am trying to test my vehicle's fuses because I literally get power to everything I need, except the car will not start, I get no sound. It literally was working perfectly fine and 20 minutes later it makes no sound. I have the teapot with a drop and the battery light on in addition to this. How am I supposed to remove the bid square block fuses in the box to test them? What idea might you have that I need to check if it is not a fuse? Will my fuse puller work on the big square fuses?

    The big one's you should be able to see if they are blown. No reason to pull them. When they blow, they blow hard generally (they are technically fusible links I believe).

    So you're saying when you turn the key, the starter's signal wire gets power? There are 2 wires on the starter... one from battery and a signal wire. Need to check the signal wire.

    There is a fuse box on the drivers side under the dash that has some important fuses in there. Need to check those.

    Ok, the passenger side engine bay fuse box has everything good on it, and I'm getting ready to gather parts to lift it up and go under the engine to get to the starter and check the connections there.

    So the problem is...."solved" as the battery was one of the issues. I am going into the engine to look at the starter and alternator and some electrical connections in the vehicle because the alarm system doesn't seem to work, it happened during this problem of the vehicle not starting. Now the vehicle runs and sounds completely fine, as if it operates normal. I got two wires that go to a push button i was using to start the car, but will learn more into it, since this is going to be my project car, I need to just dive in and learn how this was built with my own eyes and hands. I am being skeptical, but I do not believe this issue is 100% resolved. More like 25-50% solved.
