Hello all!

my 66 charger came home and now has zero electrical power.
The battery is new and charged but I have no power anywhere.
Any ideas where I should start?

thanks!!

Thanks!

Would that disable electric power to the whole car too?

Nothing has power.

Get a test light and check for power at the large stud on the starter relay, then follow that wire to the firewall disconnect and check for power on both sides of it.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Yes, my car suffered the same problems until I replaced the bulkhead wiring.  It's just a bad design/idea...
