Volvo Totally dead interior

Check 12 volts on firewall studs under air hoses.

 

How do you know?

 

I just started fostering a cat that looks just like that, but he's missing an eye.

We call him Pirate Kitty.

He needs a truck.

 

What causes all power to go out like this is the small black cable from battery box to frame. There is a fusible link in that cable that can blow. In my case I've had them blow because the positive battery cable crossing over the transmission to the starter has rubbed itself raw due to improper tiedown, thus causing a major short to transmission or frame. You could confirm yours is out by clamping some jumper cables from a battery negative terminal to the frame -- but be careful because if the short is still active, you will see some serious sparks fly and will melt that jumper cable if you leave it clamped. If the short isn't active, and power is restored with that jumper cable, the issue is probably the fusible-link cable. Just find out why it blew in the first place to avoid a sequel.

 

So much for the posting of one more reply to verify the fix.
