I was just driving along when all of a sudden out of nowhere the car loese all power electrical too and dies... i mess with it for hours and find nothing when finallt i notice the black wire from my msd to the coil is off and one of my fuseable links is broken. so i hook it back up and put in new links and nothing but now when i switch the car on nothing but when i turn it back off i hear the door chimer very very light ly if i do anything else electrical it will stop, so i'm thinking dead battery, but its less than 2 weeks old so i try to jump it and still the same thing gawd everyone please help me!!!! i need tthe car to run!!!! i have the direct fire msd thing too if that helps... and i tried disconnedting the msd thinking it might be fried fu(king up the circut, but still does the same thing with it connected or not!!

 

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

BAD ground, bad power connection, corrosion on terminals, possibly a bad fuse link (drivers strut tower, one in the middle)

 

if it was bad ground or powerhow would it go so quickly??

 

just out of curiosity, what did you replace the fusible link with?

as long as you know the battery is FINE, i would probably agree with mike-p-28 and say it's bad ground. aside from that, i'm out of ideas ... sorry.

 

The one time I ever saw a vehicle lose complete power when everything seemed connected properly it was due to a ruptured battery pissing out all its electrolyte.

of course, that one had been shot - literally.

In your case however it's probably something far simpler. Had it been the battery the alternator would have run the car for a while, not sudden catastrophic failure...

 

i gaurantee a bad connection to the battery. if you have aftermarket cable ends with paint, make sure and scrape off the paint where all metal joins. clean up the battery posts, clamps, and make sure everything there is metal to metal. msd, etc. if you look closely you might find burn marks where it arced.

 

i went to a junk yard and grabbed a bunch of fuseable links from the other rexy's trashed there..... and i'm gonna replace the ground today i'm pretty shure its the problem cause i was shaking the cable w/ the key in the ignition i got all power back for about 4 seconds!

 

There's also an actual "engine" fuse in the fuse box right next to your left knee as you sit in the driver's seat facing forward looking out the windshield...

 

I had a bad ingnition switch, but it would cut out intermitatly, and then finally, after about two years it stopped working. $10 at the junk yard, and no problems since.

A bad ingnition switch would do what you described above. Try hot wiring the car and see if runs, that would narrow it down to the ignition switch.
