I THINK HE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY CROSSED THEM (EVEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND)

IF YOU ATTEMPTED A "JUMP START"--DID SOMETHING POSSIBLY GET CROSSED UP---OR ARCED?

WITHOUT SUPER ACCURATE INFO ASEMaster6371 MIGHT GUESS FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS

RIGHT NOW LOOKS LIKE HE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO GO ON....DEPENDING ON YOUR ANSWER

TIME TO GET SERIOUS!

LOOK AT "ALL" OF YOUR FUSES

MR. STARTER COULD BE BAD

TURN YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON---ATTEMPT A START----DO THE LIGHTS DIM TO NOTHING?

i will try to check all fuses and go threw all connections tomorrow as im off, didnt try the high beam thing because i have zero electrical power lights wont dim because they wont even turn on. Basically is acting like i have no battery connected at all. Thanks for the advise
