Mend Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 16v LS Car Power Start

my car has no power?

i have just bought a vauxhall vectra 1.8 16v ls

it has no power and does not make any sound when i try to start it up.

i have recharged the battery fully and this still is not making anything happen.

i was told it could be something to do with the fuses but which one would make all the power work in the car?

please help

The big fuse, most likely in the fuse box under the bonnet.

The vectra has 3 fuse boxes, 1 under bonnet, 1 in passenger side, 1 in boot.

Also, check the wiring onto your starter and alternator, and the main earth from battery and engine to the body, if 1 of these is corroded / loose, you'd get the same simptoms.
