    Try checking your fuses and the ignition switch

  • Check the ground to the battery (both sides). You do not have connectivity to the battery. Feb 26, 2014 at 20:08
  • Hey Paulster2. This happen once before. But the starter relay and battery was bad. But I drove it for a month now.

  • You have lost connectivity somewhere if you are getting nothing as you described. If you replaced the parts a month ago and it solved the issue, more than likely you only masked the true issue. Moving wires/cables around could have caused it to reconnect, but now it's lost it again. I'd check all of your power cables to see where the lack of continuity is located. Feb 27, 2014 at 2:14

There is a fusible Link that possibly has blown, where the positive battery cable connects to the starter relay, there is a smaller red wire usually has heat shrink on it. replacement fusible link avail at NAPA, Advance auto etc, but could also use a fuse and holder.
