Electrical system seems totally dead
98 Mustang GT. no changes to the stock electrical system. Brand new battery, alternator and starter checked while running and are supposedly good.
i detailed the car all day saturday in advance of putting up on the market. I drove it Saturday morning to get some supplies, had no problem. started in about 1 second. Tried to start it sunday evening, stuck key in ignition, absolutely no ding, no instrument panel, no nothing. like battery wasn't even connected. thought maybe i left the dome light on. put trickle charger on it for 24 hours. Got in it Monday evening after removing charger. put key in ignition, got power, turned it to start, absolutely nothing. now car seems totally dead. no power anywhere. put charger back on battery, stuck key in ignition, got power, turned key and car starts within a second, and not off the trickle charger. drove it around the block, originally got a ABS light that blinked off/on and then stayed out. no other caution lights. drove just fine. backed it into driveway, turned off key. turned key back on, car shows power, turned to start, everything goes dead. absolutely dead. no juice whatsoever. pulled key, no power anywhere. dome light doesn't even come on. ding for key in ignition doesn't even ding.
battery connectors tight. I guess saying help is not necessary?
