Default Kill switch question.

I'm using a buddy's 95 Mustang GT. I used the alarm remote to unlock the doors and disengage the alarm. i went to start it...one click, then nothing. There is absolutely no juice going to anything. not even the little clock on the dash board. No power is going through the car. tried jumping it...nothing. Is it possible for the alarm to trip the kill switch and disable the juice to flow to anything? I'm stumped. TIA for any help.

Hey. In my experience I've been in your situation it points to a loose battery cable. It could be one or both. Sometimes they feel really tight but the current just won't flow. in a pinch you could just unhook then re hook them and get em' to work. The real fix is clean them up nice and use that red stuff that inhibits corrosion. (made for batteries, its in a spay can) Hope
I helped out. Good luck.
