No Start....nothing
Well not actually nothing... Heres my problem, Mainly the only thing that works on my car is headlights/taillights, horn and interior light. When i turn the key nothing happens..no crank...the windows don't go down...radios doesn't kick on....power locks don't even work.
Last month i installed the 350 H.O crate in my Z28 and its been running great but Yesterday i came home from work took a nap, went outside...and this BS pops up. I changed the neautral safety switch with one outta my buddys 87 and still nothing... everything looked perfectly fine but i don't know....Someone help!

Sounds like maybe a fusible link to the starter. Too much out to be a starter/kill switch issue. Those wires to the starter are the achillies heel of GM's otherwise good electrical systems.

Did you check them with a trouble light? Do it up the harness a bit.

ok well my car took a crap AGAIN....fried the SAME link....i followed the wire all the way up to a red wire where it splits in two by the carb. The fusable that went is the link that goes into another one and both attach as one to the starter. I hate electrical sht so any new in put will be much appreciated. SO its shorting somewhere else, and frying that one....i haven't touched it after where i saw that it split... I hate electrical crap so any new in put will be much appreciated.

you have to find the bare wire, it sounds like. under no circumstances should you circumvent the fuse or the fusable link or the fusable wire - that fuse is saving your electrical system by going out. sounds like a pain in the balls, but you are going to have to get down and dirty with the harness.
