Mazda Repair: loss of electrical to everything, 1994 mazda mx6, mazda mx6


Question
hello, i have a 1994 mazda mx6 LS V6 and my air bag light started blinking and then my battery light started to act like it was going to come on all the way, but it just dimly flickered.  i turned off the car and then turned it back on again and they stopped, however it started back up a day later, then i turned off the car and and i couldn't get power to anything.  i tried jumping it, didn't work, i tried looking at fuses, nothing blown on inside car fuse box.  could not even turn on a light inside the car when hooked up to another battery.  how do i check the fuses that are under the hood, what do you think about the problem, and last but not least, would the OBD1 software for the diag. machine let me know if i have a bad wire?????

Answer
HI Dusten thhanks for asking,
This sounds like you may have an electriacl short or a loss of ground somewhere. this are confusing problems and should be handled by someone that is really good with electrical. The OBD tester may beable to assist in finding the problem, because if it detects improper reading from something it will show up on the data stream in one of the OBD1 functions, or it will set a code for something and that could just give an idea at where the problem actually is.
