94 RT/10 no power

[nickvargo213]

My 94 died on me while I was driving. No power to anything.
Tested the battery, no issue there. There is no voltage at the jumper terminals under the hood.
Is there a main breaker/fuse/relay that I could have tripped/blown?
Minutes before the total shutdown, the radio cut off and came back on a few times and the volt meter dropped to 12VDC. The issue stopped and charging went to normal just before everything shut down.

My first guess would be deterioration of the battery cables where they enter the connectors do to age, out-gassing, and/or leak. A firm tug will confirm this if they are severely damaged. This can be repaired with new connectors. I would also be interested in the battery itself...voltage, load test, cold crank amperage.

I had the battery load tested, it's not a dead cell issue. the battery connectors are new and the cable integrity seems good. Still no power to the front of the vehicle.

Figured this one out, previous owner had quick disconnect from battery installed. This failed, causing my power loss.

Glad you figured it out, my guess would have been
something getting in and chewing wires (which never
ends well... or cheaply...)
