Exclamation emergency electrical problem. guru's are needed. : (

alright, so i had my 88turbo vert at work and i went to turn it on and when i turned the key, i heard a click in the dash and nothing. after that i did it again, and when i turned the key, nothing at all. NOTHING electrical works in the car. accept for the beeping noise that comes on when the key is in and the door is open. i checked all fuses in both spots, and the battery terminals and no luck. my car is stranded right now so i need some serious help please.

what wiring should i check first??
what grounds should i check???

stock dash? what does to voltmeter read when the key is in the ON position?

Sounds like a dead battery... does the horn or headlights work? If not, then you probably have a dead battery, or corrosion between the battery terminals and the battery posts.
