96 Q45 electrical (Fuse) problem

[ms15]

Can anyone help me locate my problem? My 96 Q will not start. Battery is good. Clock works. But everything else is out. No ignition. Absolutely nothing happens when you turn the key, including no clicking in case of a no good starter. No headlights, no brake lights, no interior lights, no dash lights. No power anything except the clock. Fuse links under hood in engine compartment look good. Seems like a major fuse is bad but I checked the fuse links under the hood and they look good.Any ideas?

Check to make sure your battery cables are attached securely. I had a situation on Q1 once where the terminal was just a little loose. Everything worked nicely if the key was on just listening to the radio in the garage - but when you turned the switch over to start the car everything went dead. I guess the bad connection couldn't handle the load.

I would also re-check the large fuses under the hood... sounds a lot like one of the green ones - but you should be able to see a burnt out one through the top cover.
