    Default HELP! electrical problem

    Vehicle - 2008 chevy suburban 2500

    Problem - battery replacement (simple right)

    well, swapped old battery (wouldn't start but enough juice for lights) for new one.

    Took old battery out and installed new one. I thought, no wire crossing nothing unique.

    Now I have absolutely no power in the car . I thought I maybe got a bad new battery. So I took old battery and put it back...nothing. Cleaned the terminals. Now I'm thinking that I somehow shorted something while removing/ installing... Looking at fuse box in engine compartment.....

    Is there a main fuse (like my house has a panel breaker) that stops a short from hurting the computer?

    Any help is appreciated!

    ----------------UPDATE----------

    OK....so think it may be the "LITTLEFUSE 175 MEGA" ... I'm getting juice to one side but not the other. Maybe this is it ?

    That would be a good place to start. Remember when you remove a battery always remove the negative side first.
