Hi guys! After a quick stop at the local petrol station my 72 Grabber decided to die on me.. Nothing electrical works but the fuses seem fine to me. I bought the car yesterday so I havent got the chance to really get to know how everything works. Is there some sort of main fuse hidden away somewhere that might be blown or has anyone in here experienced the same..? The battery is almost new btw!
Need a little more info, what do you mean nothing electrical works? Starter, lights, radio? Will it not crank? Does it turn over? Cranks over but won't run? Lots of thing to consider, but other than a coupe of fusible links coming off of the solenoid, no "master" fuse.
Well the car acts like its battery has been removed. Absolutely nothing works I hoped that there might be a "master fuse" somewhere but there you go!
Check battery connections both at the battery and the starter solenoid, sounds like the connections bad there somwhere. Don't forget to check the ground wire connection also.
Start with basics. Battery cables. Check fuse links at starter solenoid. I think its a yellow fuse link.
The fusible link is a black 10ga with a yellow tracer. And no, I'm not one of the Maverick genius old timers on here , I just finished cutting apart my entire engine wiring harness.
Look at the ground connections and wiring first. Old wiring plus corroded connections = nothing works.
Its alive!! It turned out to be bad wiring between the battery and the starter but thanks for many great hints&tips!
