So, yeah. Got rid of the 2nd gen, got a 94 z28. got it past inspection. got custom plates on the way. Today, i went to get gas. Got there, filled up, pulled into the parking lot to go pay, realized my card had expired, rushed into the px to get a new card, got it, paid for the gas, hopped in the car, turned the ignition to acc., everything comes on, go to crank it, and EVERYTHING goes out. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Battery's fine (12.4v) none of the fuses are blown, and it's just the worst of luck. Go figure, the day I finally sell my truck, the camaro dies....
Anybody had this before? Like I said, I have nothing. no power anywhere except the battery, and yes, I checked the connections....
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated....

This is a common problem that happens alot . Check the battery terminal cables for evidence of corrosion or looseness. If there has been corrosion on the cables previously , this may have migrated up into the cables . If that is the case replace the cables. If not then check the neg cable from the battery to the block and the pos cable to the starter. Also check the starter solenoid wires.

Believe it or not my car just went through a series of the same issue. Come to find out, the side posts on batteries do loosen over a time. Well that and my fat stereo connector didn't help... Good luck

One of the best things I did for my 93 Camaro (oddly enough) was upgrading from the stock battery cables. I did not have any fancy add-on electronics, but the larger cables made a world of difference for all of the electronics. The lights were brighter inside and out. This guy does great work and it was one of the first upgrades to each of my cars: http://www.innovativewiring.com/

Could be loose connection to battery; wiggle cables with key in ACC and lights on.

SO, it was just the side terminals that stripped out (pos side) so i fixed that, then a week later, wrecked the car... goddamn it.... anybody need a parts car? Insurance totalled it. as for the plates, I meant 2 short plates. they have to custom make 2 short plates now...
