I had my car running a couple of weeks ago. Now it won't turn over using the key. I dont even get power to the instruments. My headlights wont come on either. I can get it to turn from the start solenoid, but it won't fire.

Check your fusible link for a circuit & main firewall plug for corrosion

I checked the plug on the firewall and everything looks good there. I'll check the fusible link too.

If nothing works but the starter relay on the fender, it's either the fuse link, or the bulkhead connector. Chances are it's the fuse link. They can go for a variety of reasons, so buy two or three so you can diagnose it...lol

I just had this problem today. I put in a new starter relay and it did the trick
