Alright, so I've been working on a 1984 pickup build. Only has 105k miles on it...runs fine etc.
I go to start it yesterday and I hear a pop, then I lose all power- clock, radio, everything. Nothing will turn on. So I check the fuses and replace a blown 60A under the hood. I go to start it again and pop, same thing happens. I then decided to replace every fuse in the vehicle, both under the hood and on the driver's side kick panel. I just finished doing that and still have no power at all. The battery is new, purchased maybe a month ago, and the truck passed inspection just two weeks ago. Any idea of what could be wrong? Is there some sort of breaker switch that I could have flipped? I could really use some help.
Thanks

 

No need to replace a fuse unless its popped, they do not go bad. Id say if your blowing a 60 amp fuse, you have a chaffed wire thats grounding out. Start and look at your positive wire on the battery and start following out from there looking for wires that might be rubbing somewhere

 

if this is the same thing that happened to mine its the fuse box under the driver kick panel i just wiggled it around then i would get my power back, thats all that i can think of.

 

.. I have seen the fuse block melt , and create a ground situation on a couple of the circuts .. un-bolt the fuse block and check it out .

 

which fuse are you blowing? it may be the only 60a fuse but i'm too lazy to go and look for myself.
