Are you getting no power whatsoever or is it just the engine that doesn't run? If that's the case, check the AM2 fuse in the engine compartment fuse box on the driver side. Rats chewed my injector wires so one was touching the intake manifold and was causing my car to blow the fuse randomly and keep blowing the new ones. The car wouldn't run or even start. No clicks. NOTHING. It had power but wouldn't run.

If there is no power like if the car doesn't have a battery, it's the main fuse that's located on that same fuse box I mentioned. It's a big square one. One of the big ones.

I am getting no power, as if the battery was dead but, the battery is fine. How do i check/know if the big square fuses are bad? I know just looking at the smaller ones, you can see the internal wire (good or broken) but im not sure how to check the others, such as the "main fuse" cause i think this may be whats wrong.
any idea what fuse it is?

There is sticker inside the lip od the fuse box and it tells you which fuse is which. You can check the fuse with a tester. They have a clear cap so you should be able to see if it's blown or not. If you can't see it, then use a tester.

No, man. Just a regular tester. They sell cheapy ones at Walmart or Advanced Auto/Pep Boys. You can test circuits with them. A fuse is something simple. Current flows from one side to the other. You need to test that. If you don't get current on the other side, then it's blown. That's how I test a fuse that doesn't have a window to see if it's blown or not.
