have you checked your grounds?

I had a similer problem when i put my engine in, I forgot to hookup the small ground from the battery to the fender.
With out it, you have nothing.

grounds are not the issue. PLEASE. go back and read the entire thread. a ground would not pop before a fusible link. and the ground from the negative battery cable is fine. zero corrosion.

i checked ALL fuses, they are good, i visually inspected the fusible links, they were fine, i even tugged on them and they were solid. at the time this happened i checked everything i could. i had voltage at the battery and only at the battery.


im never jumping this car again, i;ll buy another battery first, this problem makes me want to set fire to the car and just buy another to be rid of the problem for good.

I did read the whole thing

im not saying a ground "poped".
Im saying losing a ground will give the same effect as no power. As in bad conection, broken wire.

Grab a multi meter/test light, and start at the battery and folow your power lines (both power and ground) until you find the bad spot.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not sure how to explain the situation before but it seems all i needed was a battery. odd since i had a car hooked up to mine trying to jump it, the battery was only slightly drained which is why i was jumping it and yet had no power in the car anywhere.

AND WHY IN GOD'S NAME DO CHEAP BATTERIES COST 60 BUCKS?

jebus batteries are not cheap.

Pony up the dough for an AC Delco battery and you'll never have to worry about it again. Buy a 78-6YR (bigger, but it'll fit fine), and better yet, get a dual terminal one (side and top posts), you'll be glad you did. Then you'll be the one jump starting everybody else. Trying to hook cables onto those tiny side terminal clamps is a b*tch, having the posts on top is a breeze.
