Relocated battery / fuse block now no power
Last night while cleaning up my engine bay I relocated my battery to the trunk, (91 Vert) and moved the fuse box to the very front on the engine bay, with all the other relays.
I ran all new 4 gauge wires from the starter to the trunk, ran new 8 gauge wire from the new location of the fuse box to the trunk for the main fuse, and ran more 8 gauge from the fuse box to the alternator.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
When I open the doors and the trunk the lights do go on, so I know I have power, but that’s all. Nothing inside is receiving power. What did I miss?<o:p></o:p>

What you did was bypass the Fuse Block.
If you Go BACK to the Positive on the FRONT of the harness (the old battery connection) you will see that the harness gets incorporated with the engine bay fuse Block.
you just can't Run a wire to the starter and expect every thing to be the same.
What you can do is Hook the positive to the starter and run another piece of Wire UP to the Fuse Block.(that is,IF you don't want to run a positive back the the original + wire that was on the battery)
