still nothing

well i looked at it some more and found that the dick that had it befor me took all the fuses out of main fuse box well i replaced them all and still nothing no interier lights no dash lights no starter nothing the head lights go on but thats it last thing to check are the fuseable links in the stering column but thats it
few more problems there some rubber lines 3/4" or so that are pinched and taped off they come of the pass. side of the engine from what i can see but any way the big thing is figuring out the electical problem

Did you check and make sure the chasis grounds are connected. I know I forgot to put a ground back on once and my car acted like the battery was dead.

try to get a new battery in there, and upgrade the grounds by making sure the frame is grounded to the negitive terminal on the battery.

from looking at the faq page i think i'll try the fusible links and the ground cable

nother thing a few of you guys were talking about getting rid of the shaft driven fan and replacing it with an electric where do i get the power from for this to have it work off the thermostat or should i just have it run when ever the car is running
