tandm Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 It worked fine the other night, then the next morning it's dead. We put in a new battery and cleaned the battery terminals, but still nothing. No dash lights or radio, engine won't turn over, not a thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alex1647545498 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 No ding ding not getting power at all. It shouldn't be the ignition. There should be a fuseable link somewhere on the wiring to the battery. It probably just blew. If you know someone with a manual for that car then it should show it.

Alex1647545498 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Use a multi meter. Put the red lead on the positive terminal on the battery. Then put the black lead somewhere on the frame (If it's a bolt that screws into the frame that would work since everythine else should have paint on them.). If it reads a voltage then your battery and terminals are good. If the connection is good at the battery. Then check the fusible link, it should connect to the fuse box in the engine bay and is the main power feed for the whole car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
