where are the fuses in an 89 firebird

I have no power to almost anything and i replaced all the fuses under the dash and the 1 right next to the battery. The battery is brand new so i know its not that. Are there any other fuses in the car?

Maybe you fried a fusible link - they all connect to starter or to the power distribution center between the battery and the radiator. And make sure your grounds are all good - battery to body (at battery), battery to motor (at block), motor to body (pass side head to firewall).

Had a similar issue on my bride's 89 Formula. It was a nearly new ground cable, and was intermittently open.

Fortunately I traced it out with an ohmmeter before I started throwing parts at it.
