electrical woes Options

[Mike1981]

Hello everyone

Hoping to get some electrical help on my 72

It has a V8 in it but will not pass any power

No buzzing of the fuelpump
No dash lights
No radio
no horn

nothing


I pulled the ignition switch and tested it

It was open until I turned the key and ohmed to almost 0 ohms
When I released it open circuit

Checked all wires in harness good

Ohmed out every fuse in the panel below dash as well as a few in the rear of the car.

Checked the ground strap (now a battery Cable)

At first I was not getting continuity between the tranny bolt and the body

Cleaned up the connection to the tranny as well as to the body ohms out to 2 ohms

Checked the battery 12.5 volts

Ohmed from neg terminal to chassis ground ohmed to 2-3 ohms

It was running fine yesterday until i turned on the headlights while staring it

then it died and I havent been able to get it to crank

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

MIke
