Hi All,
I have a big problem here and I've searched and searched and couldn't find the answer to my problem. My car wont start and i can't pinpoint the problem. Here is how it happens in order of event... I open the door, dome lights goes on, then i turn the ign. to start the car, all power goes out. Not even a crank. I check all fuses and they all are fine. I tried jump starting the car with my truck, same problem happens... all power goes out as i turn the ign. Finally I figure the battery is bad... so i took it out and took it to PepBoys and they confirmed it was a bad battery so I got a free replacement since it was an optima battery and I had one more year of warranty on it. I bring it home and put it in my cav and hooked everything back up, I go in the car and dome lights goes on.. i turn the ign and tried to start it, all power goes out like before.
Im more than puzzled than before so anybody can help me out here?
GOT STUFF FOR SALE, CHECK THE CLASSIFIED
High probability of a bad ignition switch. The electrical portion does go bad over time.

I had the same issue not to long ago. Check the wire going into the fuse box make sure its tight. Mine was loose and did the exact same thing.
