Hi Jim;
You need to do some detective work. You'll need an Electrical Meter.
Check the battery terminals for voltage, verifying that you indeed have
power available. Check the Ground terminal for continuity, with one
probe on the Neg. post and one on the block or other unpainted metal.
This establishes that you can make a circuit. Now follow the power.
I'm not familiar wit your car, but follow the bundle of wires under the
hood to the Firewall and see if there's a gang connector there. If so,
turn on the Ignition, and the Wiper Switches and then wiggle the wire
bundle where it goes into the connector. Having the wipers on will let
you know if you suddenly have power into the car. The gang connector
often gets corroded, and since all the power for the whole car goes
thru it, you can lose some or all power there.
In any event, when you go from OK to dead suddenly, and you have power
available in the Battery, then it's a connection problem, somewhere.
Good Luck, Ray

hello everyone, i need help, i cannot find the problem, i
just started my 61 dodge squad and drove it out of the garage, had it
in 2 parades last weekend with no problems, when i drove it out of the
garage i shut it off, when i went to start it there was nothing, there
is no power to anything on the car except when i jump the starter, i
have no power anywhere, i traced one red wire to under the dash that
has power but that is it, what is the problem, is there a fuse or
circuit breaker somewhere, ignition switch should be good even if it
wasn't the lights should work but there is nothing at all that has
power, where do i look? help. jim
