'98 SVT (E0). 20 ft down the driveway this AM everything stopped. Engine quit, no lights, no radio, no reaction of any kind to any ignition switch position, power antenna stays up, seats inoperative so wife cannot stear while I push. In all aspects dead as a door nail. Sounds like simple bad cable connection.
Connections turn out to be good. Battery checks strong, 13.5 volts. Neg cable snug. Pos cable at alternator snug. Full voltage between starter lead and engine ground. Full voltage to BJB.
Drop the car off the stands(what a bad placement for an alternator)and it starts just fine except rev hunts per usual adaptive relearning after power disruption.
Is there some kind of master breaker or fusible link I should be looking at? Could this be a PATS issue? I'm not keen on a repeat that might take me farther away from my tools.
