Power loss

Since this car is my DD im going to post before I search to see if anyone can give me an idea of whats wrong.

I have no power what so ever, nothing at all. I installed a battery relocation kit two weeks ago and everything has a good connection.

When I went to start it, I didnt let the injectors prime I just went to crank it over and it sounded like the starter was going but then just died. I went to fix it and everthing came back on and when I went to start it, once again clicked and...no power. Im not sure what to do except check my fuses

Bad connection on one of your battery cables is my guess. I know you said they all have a good connection, but check them again.

A fuse wouldn't shut off, then come back. Once they blow, they stay blown.

unless you have a GLOW when it blows fuse when they blow they only let a bit of power through

Nothing worked at the time.....

But my dad came and jumped it and we took it to sears to get it checked and they said the battery and alternator were both good

I don't trust auto parts stores to tell me whether or not an alternator is good. The test they use sucks and doesn't measure the alternator under the appropriate load. I've had them tell me one is good, then I tested it myself and found the output was very low. If you have a multimeter, test it yourself.

I would recheck all your wiring and check that little fuse built into the positive terminal to make sure it's not blown.
