Techs-

Today in the morning, I turned the ignition on and was about to crank the car and it just died.

Everything disappeared, no turn signal, no lights, no radio, no power locks or windows, seems like a battery problem or a fuse or maybe something else?

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated

 

sounds like you need to check/clean all of your grounds. Happened to me too. I guarantee if you "wiggle" the ground attaching to the battery it will all come back on.

 

Ground connected to the "-(Negative)" terminal?

 

yes. Ground, Negative. same thing.

 

Its supposed to be black. has the "-" symbol not the "+" symbol. Not trying to be a dick.. you would be surprised how many people i know and have watched hook up jumper cables AND battery terminals backwards..

 

Completely understand and thanks for the heads up

 

Thanks for the advice and help.

It does not seem like a ground issue, because I tried today in the morning, lights do come on and radio/cd player also work if the Switch is at position 'I', if I move to 'II', everything disappears, another weird thing, when I turned the key in Ignition for the first time, everything was good till 'II', as soon as I tried to crank and put to 'III', car just dies and all the lights on the dash disappear too.

Do you think it's the ignition switch or any fuse/relay is blown?

Is there any preference, if I have to buy ignition switch or ebay/used is fine too?

Looking and waiting for some help

 

A bad ground does that too. I had that problem for a while. It works with a really light charge, but when you turn the ignition and the starter pulls it's draw, it arcs out and makes for a "dirty" or "burned" connection.

One simple thing you can do is just connect one side of a jumper cable to the negative
post and the other end to any place on the engine block. If it will now start then you know your dealing with a ground issue.

 

There is ONLY one thing I can say about you, "YOU SIMPLY ROCK"

Thanks so much for your help and advice.

Actually , ground cable on the battery was lose, used a cleaner, some sandpaper, tighten it up and 'Honey' fired right up(Maybe 5-10 min job)

Thanks a ton for all of your help

 

Not a problem man. That's what were all here for. Chances are we all have had some kind of problem that somebody else is currently having. Glad i could help.
