Car is DEAD, DEAD

Put a new catalytic convertor on the car, a 91 V6 Firebird. Then car won't start, not getting any spark. Read everything out found out the pickup coil is bad, changed it out. The car cranked over twice and then nothing. I mean nothing. I get no lights, no radio no power what so ever, can't even get the trunk to close. It's like the battery isn't hooked up. I read out the battery 12.6 volts. I tried to jump it, still nothing. I have no clue. PLEASE help !!!

Re: Car is DEAD, DEAD

Check your grounds...There should be one to the frame and one to the block. Make sure they're clean and tight. I'm no expert, but that's where I would start...Good luck!

Thanks, already checked the grounds. I'm going to check the fusible link by the starter and see where that leads.
