No power from the battery is being transmitted. Where do I find the possible blown fuse in a 72 skylark?
No headlights, starter, ignition, electronic fuel pump or ACC gauges work. I was cranking it over when everything died. Got 12.3 volts at the battery in the trunk.
Throw a charger on that battery first off. Take a look at the fusible links down at the starter, although with a battery in the trunk sounds like a hot rod! Stock starter in it? Put your volt meter on the big post on starter, see if the juice is making it that far?.. There will be wayyyy smarter folks than me answering soon enough!!
Battery is at 12.3 volts. Power wire runs from the trunk to a solenoid on the front firewall which is registering 4.3 volts. Looks like I'm losing 8 volts somewhere in between.
Yes you are. Charge that battery up! So you at least know the power IS making it forward... I would think the positive cable is continuous all the way forward to the solenoid?
It was a battery ground. Had been untouched for 3 years with no problems. It's good to go now though. Thanks all
