Well yeah i do have a recharged battery. I am not getting no power at all to the vehicle, no int. or ext. light, no cranking.

I do have some connectors loose but there is no place to put them.

yea, the SR has extra connectors so those are ok. just go through and check everything again and make sure there are no cuts in the harness or anything stupid like that. Also, check the interior harness too

Make sure your negative cable is grounded to the chassis and the intake manifold. SR wiring has nothing to do with your lighting, so you have something wrong at the battery

the ground to your battery should be attached to the passenger side of the block to a treaded 14mm ( or 12mm) hole under the starter.

it could be the ground cable, or dead positive cable,

bad terminal/s, dead battery,

this is simpler then you think.

Check your Alternator Fuse (the large grey one in the fuse box in your engine bay on the passenger side). When that one goes, you will have 0 power.

I had this problem in the 300, the fuses are fusible links that look like a normal piece of wire, only way to check them is with a voltmeter or test light.

Good luck
