1997CivicLX

Well, I replaced my input shaft bearing on my 97 civic lx and now there is no power getting to anything. The brake lights will not come on if I hit the brakes, the headlights will not come on, the dash lights do not come on when turning the key.

I checked continuity on the fuses under the hood with a meter. Yes, the 80A battery fuse is good, as is the little battery connections coming out of the side of the fuse box, which are reading 13 volts.

I checked resistance of the battery ground which showed no resistance.

I checked the terminals with a meter and they are fine.

I have checked everything we touched, including grounds.

What could cause the car to have no power at all to anywhere?
If the PCM was bad, it would not cause all power to be lost, would it?

pcm being bad will still allow power. i had this problem and it turned out to be the main ground. your overlooking something.

Not sure which you are referring to as the main ground, perhaps the battery ground to chassis? If so, I have checked that with a meter and it is fine.

As I understand, you need the harness ground to the thermostat to ground the ECU, the tranny ground to the chassis to ground the starter,
and the head/valve cover ground to the chassis to ground the injectors.
