[Rick the pool guy]

So went to start the T today no crank and I noticed that the headlights came on very dim whe trying to start and the light switch is off
horn doesn't work radio doesn't work car is on a fast system with edash and no data on the edash

Lost a ground?
Could be trying to ground thru the headlight ground circuit.

Update: well it's finally warmed up here in New England
And I started troubleshooting my T
It didn't take long to find it
I started with volt testing my brand new battery (9 months old ) 12.5 volts
when not using the car it sits on a battery tender
So I tried starting... same problem no crank nothing works in the car
Tested voltage again 12.5 volts so I hooked up my meter to the starter tried to start the car voltage went from 12.5 to 2.2 volts ...so I took the meter hooked it up to the battery and tried again 12.5 to 2.1 volts and I was very happy that my problem was a bad battery and not a chewed wire from mice
Took the battery out took it to my buddies place and it had 1 or 2 bad cells in it .
The auto parts store replaced it for free
AC DELCO battery
Popped it in and started on the first crank.
So if I didn't do a draw test I would probably be chasing my tail and this is not the first time a "New" part has failed within a yearhttps://youtu.be/LGU3UOxXUSk?si=Q3gE9jSo6FeUTH_r

Had the same thing happen to me with my AC Delco battery, only mine was out of warranty as it was 7 yrs old .
It showed over 12v on my multiMeter, got it load tested and it failed less than 9volts

Past issues with the Delco was positive post "rise".
If you saw the + post being pushed up out of the case, it was junk.
Volt test ok, load not.
