NIGHTMARE will not start, NO POWER, No fusible links found???
NIGHTMARE will not start, NO POWER, No fusible links found???
Ok, here is how I royally screwed up my 1983 T/A with 305 crossfire. I was installing a remote started button as described in another listing in this forum when I fried a fuse "somewhere"?? I had dropped the sterring column and cut into the ignition wires as described. Somehow I grounded those wires and poped a fuse but I cannot find it. The car will not start nor make any sound when the key is turned on. I tested the ignition wires and no power is present where there was power before. Also, when hook up the power wire at the battery I do not hear the injectors or fuel pump "prime" like I use to. The ONLY proof of power in the car is the interior lights. Nothing else seems to work. I have replaced the starter solenoid and was sure to hook up ALL wires to their respective positions. None of the wires at the solenoid have fusible links and I cannot find where else the car gets power from. Most of the diagrams listed here are for newer cars and was hoping someone could help.
Thanks.
Thanks.

There should be 2 fusible links at the starter solenoid. Dig deeper into the harness leaving the starter that goes behind the engine.
Lo-tec, thanks much man. I found the links and fired my car up for the first time in weeks last night. I cannot figure out why GM made them so hard to get to though. It took me a couple of hours to complete the swap. Anyway, I appreciate the help.
