My battery died a few weeks ago and I got it replaced with a brand new one; but the car does not start now. The car turns over; meaning that the engine starts and the belts work for about 2 seconds but then dies. The radio does not seem to work. I talked to a person at Kraigen's and they said that the fuses were not blown and that it might be a starter, ignition switch or ignition coil that might have been blown. Anyhow, please help. . . I cant move the car just yet and I want to see if I can fix it b4 I go to the dealers or a mechanic. Thnx.

My pops replaced an alternator for my Nissan Altima ('2001 GXE) yesterday and forgot to disconnect my battery before starting the procedure. Now the car electronics are dead. The car runs when I turn the ignition and drives alright (though the engine block vibrates alot more than we started. . . probably because the tensioner is not set to the correct length), but the dashboard, horn etc etc do not work. Does this mean that I just need to replace my fuses? Or is there more damage done than before installing the alternator? I am going to go to the parts store later today. Please advise.

I am not sure if I have insomnia, but I havent been able to fall asleep at a good time. In high school, I was used to sleep at 3 in the morning and be able to wake up for early period at 6 in the morning. But now in college, I cant wake myself up in the morning for the life of me. Even with an alarm clock! This seems to be a reoccuring problem. For the past week I havent been able to sleep before 5am. So far, I have been lucky for I have gotten up for my classes; but I dunno how long I can keep it up. And its annoying! I need to get my sleep.
