Unhappy electric problems

i have a 85 se and for some reason i am getting no power to the whole car. i checked the battery and with a test light it lights up to say there electricity, i can hear my relays from my lights but they dont go on, i took the test light to the starter and i my test light lights up. i turn the ignition and nothing at all none of my fuses can be checked no power going to any of them. i checked my link fuses n the engine bay and they light up but still nothing .. i hope someone can give me a idea..

I had a similar problem a while back and it turned out to be a bad ground. Check BOTH ends of your negative battery cable.

hope that helps

DO NOT do that!!, Search, there are easier ways to find tdc and you stand a good chance of crushing your torrington bearings.
