Hello,

I have a '97 LS with over 218k miles. We live 16 miles off road so this vehicle gets its share of bumpy rides.
Yesterday after a rather large bump it lost all power. No lights to dash, nothing.
Battery connected and fuses look good.
Any ideas? If possible loose connection, where at?

Thanks
Jim

 

Did the engine stop running when you hit the bump or did you shut it off and turn it back on to find it had no lights on the dash? Is the battery held down? Can you see any black spots where the battery terminals obviously touched the body?

 

All fixed. As it turns out, there are more cables coming from the battery than I could initially see. Once I started removing them I found the one that broke.
