hey guys,
Allright it went like this.... I started my car about a week ago, it went fine, I parked it and turned the battery switch to the off position. Then after this snow storm we had in mass, I went out to start it up and clear it off and my battery switch was frozen, I worked it back and forth until it clicked to the on position and i went to turn the car on and there was nothing at all (no power anywhere). Tryed jumping it for 30 mins and still nothing. after all this i pulled my battery out and put it on the charger and it reads 100% so i am absolutly stumped to the problem what do you guys think it is? maybe the switch has to thaw out? (do these switches commanly go bad?) thanks
Tim

I'd have to say when you were working that switch, you might have broke a connection in there or something. Try bypassing the switch to see if everything else works as advertised.

Do your headlights work?

I would spend a few mins going over all the connections, including those in the switch you installed and try again.

Good luck.
