No power to key?

[skidlid]

My car turned off at a stop light. No power when key is turned on but the headlamp, dome light and lighter work ?

Where to start?

 

[salvageV6]

Starter solenoid?

Does it just not crank or are other circuits dead?

High speed blower fan work?

Coolant fans work (manual switch needed to activate with a cold car)?

Power windows work?, Wipers?, Fuel Pump Prime?

Fuse and or fusible link.

Fuse and or fusible link.

What location, I check box by peddles and they are good

No power to fans key is dead and I have manual windows and no locks. Radio is off like car is turned off

Fusible links are on starter stud, fuses under dash by driver pedals

Car is on the lift and I will try to tackle this project tomorrow morning.

A volt meter is your friend. Start at the battery and work your way to the starter and beyond.

Thanks for everyone’s help! I would hate to do this without a lift. It was one of the fusible links on the starter solenoid . I was scared for a second, I bent the inspection cover a little bit in the process and it rubbed on the flywheel when I first put it together.

The other way around with a schematic and you cover more ground when trouble shooting. Start at furthest point and then half way

Was it caused by age most likely?

If the battery isn't showing power starting elsewhere won't tell you anything.
