So my car was working fine. Started her up and drove. Got out to go to get mail. Got back to the car and it wouldnt start. No power at all. No lights or anything. Battery has full power. Even tried hooking up to a jump to see if it helped but nothing. All fuses are good but somehow there is no power being sent anywhere . I dont get it. Anyone ever have this issue?

make sure your battery cables are not loose at all, check both pos and neg

Borrow someone else's battery and put it in. Just to make sure it has nothing to do with a completely dead battery.

Did both of those. Not the battery . I am stumped.

well if you are saying no juice at all to anything, then you have a cable broken or un attached etc,, from the battery.
Should get something, if nothing follow the positive cable from the battery and see where it goes and that it goes somewhere.

Obviously there is no current going from the battery to the car. The mystery: Where is the interruption?

You said your battery is good. So the only explanation is either a blown main car fuse (the fuse before IGN switch) or an interruption in the cables leading from the battery to car’s electrical system (which could simply be a loose battery cable).

verdict.

i think we are looking to literally at this. maybe the op has a sense of no power in the z. once he gets in, hes nothing but a spec of dust on a beach, on a planet flying through a galaxy, flying through a universe.

Fuseable link, relay, fuse, ignition switch.....Good luck.

As said, it could be a fuse or fusible link.

It could also be a loose ground cable. You could use a volt meter between the positive post and the chassis to confirm 12v. If it reads nothing, there is a loose or broken ground. If it's merely loose somewhere, you might still get a 12v reading, but not a good enough connection for anything to work. You could also use your jumper cables to jump the negative post to the chassis and see if everything starts working. This would also confirm a loose or broken ground.

If you confirm that the ground cable is good, you'll need to use a volt meter and start probing from the positive side of the battery and into the wiring, fuse links, fuses, until you find the break.

Just out of curiosity, did you have the car towed or were you able to push start it?

Not sure what the deal really ism but there was a bit of corrosion on my positive terminal connector. Cleaned it up . Didnt think it would matter considering I had turned the car on 15 minutes before that with no problem but I did it anyway. Got it back on and it fired right up. It wasnt even all that bad but it worked.

I don't mean to resurrect a 7 year old thread, but I too had no power.

Cleaned the Pos (+) and Neg (-) terminals and it started right up.

I'm just sayin' that the dude above wasn't crazy. My terminals looked clean, but scotch-brite and wiping down with WD-40 revealed that there was a black coating on it after the car sat for 4 days.
