i have a brand new battery in my 71 240z but nothing at all in my car is getting power please help this problem has takin 2 YEARS of my time and i still cant figure it out.

Fusible link?

Could be as easy as bad battery connector wires...try bypassing them as a start.

where is the fusible link in my car?

I had the same problem once, I found a loose wire down by the starter. about two inches from the main battery cable on the starter is another connection and mine was loose, give it a tug

The best way to do this is to get a meter and wiring diagram and trace the circuit. You can do this with a noid light, too, but I prefer actually having a meter to know what the voltage is.

If you need help, I live in Forsyth County. Send me a PM and have some cold Diet Mt. Dew on hand. (Yeah, I know. It's strange to hear a request for soda instead of beer, but I'm just strange that way and in many other ways.)

You can find a wiring diagram by going to the XenonS30 link in my signature and downloading the factory service manual.

Well, we tracked down the problem with the car. The ammeter had given up the ghost. I put in a shunt for a temporary fix. The car won't be on the road anytime soon, so the ammeter can be replaced in the future.

Thanks steve!!

Good man Steve. knew it had to be something simple.
