a local cutlass for sale... 88 supreme classic, almost fully loaded, 200r4 trans, i THINK it may have the f41 suspension kit... no posi though 🙁 anywho, the owner says its been having issues with the battery/starter. so, he took the starter out and had it checked out, the people he took it to say that its fine.. so he brought it back to the car and its been sitting for a couple months without the starter in it. i put it back in and wired it back up, and hooked up a BRAND new battery, and it still has no current going through the vehicle... what could the issue be?

what do you mean by no current going through the vehicle?

do the lights work?
does the ignition switch power anything in the vehicle at all?
as others stated check the main power wire going into the cab of the car, should be (factory) two fusable links coming off the starter. check all the fuses in the fuse block, a power probe is best for this stuff (or a good test light, that is computer safe).. if all he did was disc the starter and take it out, then make sure everything down there is connected properly...

yeah no current as in nothing inside of the car works. cant be anything too major because a few months ago i heard this car run with the exact same wire.. so something must be disconnected.

wish I had this when I was doing mine . very nice

That's why I always tell people to go out and get an actual Chassis Service Manual for their car because they're worth their weight in gold. They have EVERYTHING in those things.

taken care of 🙂 the two pink wires had been cut, sliced or some sh*t... got a connection for them, hooked them up to the starter, hooked it back up, did the battery... boom started right up 😉 i like how it runs, nice and quiet, the heat is hot and thr A/C is ice cold... only problem is the rust but i can work around it. its a winter car.

the body of mine is much better, but like i said im not too worried about it, since its just a winter driver.. i can take care of the body later, im just glad it runs how it does.
