Had this happen to me, the symptoms you have are exactly what happened when my fusible links went.

Power surge, or high amperage surge = POOF!

Excess resistance in a circuit. There is more going on than turning off the key.

Nah

It was just a suggestion to check it out . There are many reasons the fuse able links would go maybe it's been hanging out by the hot ass exsaust to long and exposed the wire. Definitely worth checking and even replacing

 

[Geezy]

I will check the links. Ordered a mini starter any way, Pretty sure the starter is the orginal. So worth upgrading. Thanks guys will keep you posted

Prioryo this happeneing I replaced my turn signal flasher would this be a related issue to no power ?

 

[~JM~]

I doubt it. Most likely a coincidence.

 

[Geezy]

Where can I get a fusable link kit? In case its is needed?

 

[~JM~]

Not sure on that one. Maybe someone else can provide a source.

Do you know where the fusible links are? If so, you should be able to perform a continuity test with a multi-meter.

No, I have read they are by the starter and connected to the fuse box but not really sure. Have not had a chance to trouble shoot

You might want to check the connector plug over by the battery that supplies power to the ecm.

Here you go for the fusible links if you need them.

Fusible links can also be bought at most parts stores.

Thanks bud!!! Really apprciate the help

I replace the starter and now car atleast gets power, but my battery is drained, starts with a jump start but wont stay on when jump cables are disconneted. Removed the alternator and had it checked and tested as good. Any other Ideas? I would greatly appreciate the help.

Sometimes a car won't continue to run if the battery is too weak.
Disconnect the negative terminal and charge it for a few hours. Reconnect and see if it will run. If it is still won't run , you might try having the battery checked at an autozone or some other box store. If bad, you gotta replace it anyway so swap it out with the old one. My guess is it will run as evidenced by the car running while jumped. FWIW.
