Car has no power!

Got the battery checked and charged by auto parts and the battery is good the starter isn’t currently installed. I turn the key and nothing lights up at all. I’m not sure if put the ground wires in the right place I recently took out the engine gave it a refresh and put it back in now nothing lights up

Put your starter in and wire it all up, try it again. Edward

Re: Car has no power!

THE WHOLE CAR hooks up to the battery at the starter terminal where the main batt cable goes.

Without the starter there, those wires aren't hooked up.

Sounds like everything is working exactly as it should.
