No power after new battery and alternator
I just installed a new battery and alternator in my '03 Disco. The car had power to unlock doors and had lights after the battery change, but once I changed the alternator there is no power, none. I installed a new 12V 130A LActrical alternator. I cleaned the terminals and the ground is attached to the chassis. The fuses in the engine compartment are fine. Power one minute and 30min later, nothing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes the metal strip type fuses look good, but are actually bad. If you have that kind and it looks good, it may be worth testing anyway. See if it will light a test light on both sides.
Also, if you leave the battery connected while changing the alternator, there's a possibility the wire grounded out and blew the fuse.

Thanks for the help. Where is the 150A fuse? I have 3 fusable links that bolt into the fuse panel hnder the hood, but they are 100,50,50.
