Ok guys here goes, i have a 1991 camaro RS 305 tbi.... i drove home no problem when i came out the next morning my car wouldnt start.... the interior dome lights worked and the headlights turned on.... but when i turned the ignition there was nothing no clicking no dash lights and no guages.... i looked into my vats to see if it was that but i checked with a multi meter and my key is showing the same resistance as the wires on the steering column.... i have the fear that it is my wireing harness i dont want to deal with all that and hope it is something else.... also i check the starter and it is good.... after putting the starter back in i had no power at all, to anything.... i tried three different batteries one being a new optima yellow top and nothing changed.... if anyone can help i would apreciate it....

 

This is going to sound stupid, but...

Are you absolutely sure that you are in PARK?

I can't tell you how many times I've seen (and done it myself) cars not fully in park. If so, and still nothing - take the shifter plate off and make sure there isn't a wire disconnected.

Also check fuses.

 

This used to happen to me in my 87 Grand Prix with a console shifter. The linkage between the shifter and steering column was messed up, throwing off the neutral safety switch. It may sound stupid, but it's very possible that it's not really in park. (to the safety switch at least.)

 

it is electrical only at this point if the gauges dont work... yes check the fuses under the dash and the Fusable link about 6-8 inches away from the positive battery terminal... that link would put most of the car out of opperation
