Have no power in the car. Opened the door and console light and dome light went out and thought I heard a pop. Now car will not start with the key. Everything under hood shows voltage. Looked at fuses block and all fuses good. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The blue wire saying fuse link on the bulkhead connector shows power so where is the fuse on that wire. Thanks for input. Man one thing then another. Just want to drive my car and not have these problems. LOL.

Hi … unplug the bulkhead connector with the fuse link and make sure there is no corrosion on terminal … they have been known for corrosion and sometimes even melting
Also check connections at amp gauge make sure they are tight and not showing signs of any melting

Will do B-BEEP. Just getting tired of one thing then another. Thought it might be the start run relay that had set me up before. Thanks for info. Russ.

No problem hope it helps … also make sure fuse link isn’t broke inside the coating use a test light and make sure there is current at both ends
I’ve had them pop and look good on outside

Thank you, B-BEEP. We try so hard to make these runners look and drive like they should. Gremlins in electrical is always hard to figure out. Have a new head light switch coming also the pin wheel dimmer switch. Trying to get the switch cluster panel out of the lower dash pad is another thing. So, this time think I am going to figure out a way to drill holes for those hidden screws that hold the lower dash pad to the dash behind it. Access to those screws is almost impossible after the dash pad starts to shrink. Have only 6000 miles on the car after restoring it and still have things to address. Keep those runners going and keep the birds alive. :thumbsup2: Ps. was getting a 489 differential ready to put in the car and now time is going another way. LOL.

By the way I did put all new wiring harness into the car when restoring it. That is why it is so frustrating when things like this happens. Thanks all. :kartman:
