ok, here's the thing that I need help with. i have a 94 cutlass supreme... when i turn the ignition on, the ONLY thing that comes on is a few lights on the dash, but not the check engine light.. also, none of the interior lights are comming on, no radio or air. I also checked the relay block on the passanger side (for the computer) and i didn't get any power over there anymore. now, i check the radio fuse and i'm getting power there.

just a few things to help me out. one... turn the key on and to run, which wires from the switch will be hot?

this seems to be a junction type short and not several individual problems, where is the first junction of positive after it leaves the terminal on the drivers side?

Large junction box underneath the steering column. Provides all the power to key switch. Including turn signals, starter relay, air bags etc. May be your problem.

Haynes Manual has an excellent wiring diagram.

It's late, I'll get into my book in the morning.

Just checked it. Pull the plastic cover from under the steering column, the juction box/connector block is right there.

It is also possible that a bad connection exists at the charging post under the hood. I've had similar problems there. (Check this first)

go on the mitchell site off of the napa homepage. excellent resource once you figure it out. It has flow charts for troubleshooting that lead you right to the problem. I just used it to diagnose a problem that i would have never been able to figure out
