Default New battery, car still dead as doornail

Follow the positive battery cable away from the battery, it should
go
directly to the main fuse which should be around 60 - 100 amps. It
should be blown, replace it. If it doesn't pull out you may have to
unbolt it from underneath. If you have no power at all you still have
a blown fuse or fusible link.


Main fuse? This one is not in the little box with the rest of the
fuses?


Most cars have TWO fuse boxes;one under the hood that holds the high
current fuses for engine stuff,and one under the dash for the rest of the
car. the main fusebox is usually close to the battery.

The main fuse is actually a fusible link;a metal strap designed to melt as
a specific current.

see your owner's manual,or get a service manual from an auto store or
online.
