He put a smaller battery in it, one that had enough power to start it and drive it, however, all the power accessories stopped working &#8211; windows, mirrors, locks, seats, etc. He did get the correct size battery after, but none of the power things have started working. Is this maybe a relay problem? or something else?  When I try any of them I don&#8217;t even hear a click of it attempting to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>You could check to see if you even have battery positive at the fuses. There could be a blown in-line fuse sometimes called a fusible link. This happens sometimes when swapping out a battery and something gets touched that shouldn&#8217;t. Another cause might be a wire\/cable didn&#8217;t get connected back correctly. Looking at the wiring diagrams I do not see an in-line fuse. However, I do see what is called a &#8220;MEGA FUSE&#8221; that is a 175A Fuse. Might check this one, it is located in the Battery Junction Box.
