Electrical

My 67 c10 won't start. Not even a click. Checked all the wiring, fuse box, battery, starter solinoid. As if the truck has no life or electric

Re: Electrical

Maybe there is a problem with the fuseable link.

Re: Electrical

I was driving at 35 mph the truck just died . We have checked everything. Put new batt cables on. Checked the tumbler switch for voltage that was ok. Tested the starter wasn't great but it should not be the problem.

Re: Electrical

Post what engine you have and whether it's HEI or coil and points, manual or automatic.
Also, do you even get lights? Horn?

If it just died while driving and you have an HEI could be the coil or module. Should at least be able to crank it though.

If it's coil and points, could be the coil and/or points. Again, should be able to at least crank the engine.

I would suspect the alternator and/or battery.

Re: Electrical

350 small block 350 tranny not sure about the HEI. The battery is almost full charge. I got new cables installed. I hooked a voltmeter to alternator, battery , starter switch tumbler,and fuse box. I get no crank at all, or any lights.

Re: Electrical

just because you have new cables does not mean they r hookup right to flow electricity

Re: Electrical

Do you have power to the fuse block? There are some areas on the fuse block that have power even with the ignition switch off.

If there isn't any power to the fuse block there is a bad connection somewhere or the fuseable link is shot.

Have you tried jumping the starter?

Re: Electrical

Sounds like the fusible link, or the ignition switch. Check the power to switch. As was before mentioned, check fuse block for power. Most likely fusible link.
Good luck
