What Now????????????

As some of you read i was havin a startin problem. Well the problem was the starter. I got that swaped out and everything was good. On the way home all the sudden i lost power to EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! I have nothing!!! and icant fit under my car, (and no im not fat :-) i just cant get to where i can see thingsfrom the bottom. Does anybody know what it could be? i was told it could be a link or most likley a loose wire off of the starter. If its not one of these anybody have any other suggestions?? Right now my car is sittin onj the side of the road. I dont like the thought of that to much,

for sure check all your connections, Battery and starter.....sounds like something came loose.....check your fuses also, and the ground strap to the engine...

I'd bet the hot lead and accessory wire off the solenoid terminal came loose. Jack it up and tighten her up.
