Battery has 12.6 volts, all grounds are connected and batt terminals are tight. When I initially tried to start it, I heard one click from the starter solinoid - now nothing.

Also my headlights are not working along with my dash lights and stereo. My console clock works though! lol...

Did I blow a fusible link?? I plan on pulling the wiring off the starter tomorrow. Just trying to get some ideas. TIA

 

If nothing works, then it would be a safe bet to assume that one or more of your fusible links are toast or that everything was not hooked up properly. Of course, we know what happens when you assume, don't we?

 

Recheck your connections on both sides of the battery cables.Sounds like it arced out fom the load. So maybe loose, corroded?
Also have someone else turn the key while you have the volt meter connected and check how much drop there is.

 

Got home from work and hooked up the positive cable again, and was gonna jump the starter solinoid w/a screwdriver just to see if it cranked and I figured, what the heck...I'll just see if the headlights work at all before I crawl back under the car and.....

THEY WORKED! The headlights magically worked again. So I put the key in and whallah....it cranks fine!

What threw me off is the fact that the Camaro clock in the console worked even when my headlights and starter didn't work before, so I figured I was getting power....can't be a loose connection...

So I'll finally hear the "beast" run tomorrow!!

Looks like I'll be getting new cables!! Thx for the help!!
