When trying to start it, One click past power on and electrical shuts off completely.

I disconnected the battery and checked it with my meter it's . Reconnected it and all seemed well.. Once again one click past power and electricals gone again. Retried again with ignition on when reconnecting (for the anti theft) no help... Any ideas folks?

Welcome to the site.

The ignition switch positions to be concerned with are referred to as "run" and "start".

What happens with the vehicle in each position?

 

[Lawrence Somers]

Thank you. In run position everything appears normal.

 

[Lawrence Somers]

Scratch that I just rechecked that. No gauges are bottomed out.

Sounds like the electrical part of ignition switch failing. That's the usual suspect when dash lights fail, and no start.

Thank you very much. Is there any possible way to confirm that with any codes? (Like I know how to do that ...) The thing is that when I turn it to the start position all juice disappears, until I disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Acting like a 220v slow blow fuse kinda odd to me for sure

What is the current battery voltage?

 

[Lawrence Somers]

Between 14 and 15 on my old analog volt meter.

 

[stamp11127]

Well....12.6 is fully charged. If the engine has been running it will have a surface charge bringing up about a volt, so 14-15 is off a little.

Turn to run position and see if anything works. If not, the ignition switch is suspect and should be tested.

If yours has a maxi fuse in the engine bay check that also. Some vehicles have them while others don't.

Analog so yeah meters pretty old. It does indeed have what appears to be a long Fuse almost as long as the battery.
It'll be late Sunday afternoon before I can get back to where it's at. Thanks for your insight. I'll be sure to post once I have checked the fuse and I will probably need to some more information on how to test the ignition. Depending on what I can find on YouTube. Enjoy your weekend!
