Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1968 Impala, battery cables, battery cable


Question
Won't start.  Battery is charged but when I turn the key there is nothing.  No clicking, no lights, nothing.  Could it possibly be a fuse.  It has always started but I don't drive.  Any suggestions on what to check.

Answer
Hi Alan
Check the battery cables first. If your battery is charged and
you are not getting any electricity, you may have a bad/broken
battery cable.

You may have a fuse that controls the lights, but the starter
is wired directly to the battery without any fuse, so if you
are not even getting a clicking sound from the starter, your
battery or cables are not sending electricity to the starter.
