Well this is embarassing... no power

So, I've been lurking a long time and tonight I just picked up my first Miata. Drove it home 3.5 hours and it ran perfectly. Stopped for gas, food, rest stop, and it always started right up. I get home, go get my wife to show her the new car, turn it on and there's nothing. No lights, no click, no sign of power. I checked the battery terminals and they look fine. Any clues? I haven't checked fuses yet.

91 NA w/ 170k miles
totally stock motor except RB intake and exhaust

Photos and build thread coming soon.

Same here, generally the Negative in my personal car.

Especially in my case when there's something in the trunk that drains a lot. :D

Suzuki: What part of SC?

Well... look at that.

The terminals were on there pretty snug, but I tried harder to get them to wiggle and wadya know - it starts right up.

We just got our first snow and the car is sporting some half used RT-615's. Let's just say the ride home was a little hairy :eek: It did make giving the wife her first ride a little more fun.

Pretty much. I only open the trunk to put my steering wheel in it when I go somewhere.
I have no room in my trunk.

I don't have the spare or the jack either. Other than the battery, there's just two things inside. But it takes up most of the trunk.
