I haven't had a chance to look into my problem but just wanted some suggestions.

I started my car up tonight and had it warmed up and was pulling out of the driveway. Backed out of the garage and EVERYTHING went dead. I don't even have dome light power. Checked the battery, no problems, have a good ground. I am suspecting either ignition or a blown fuse somewhere. The car has a painless wiring harness if that sheds any light at all. This is the first time that I have had any ignition/power related issues whatsoever. Please, any suggestions would be great!!

Fusable link?

Would you mind explaining exactly what fusable link refers to. Is it a relay or an actual in-line fuse?

Check the battery terminals first. if you burned a ground or there is any corosion or loosenes this could be you problem. You could have burned either of the battery leads on a header(speeking from experience.) next check you starter wires dow at the starter. if the bolt is loose on the starter you could have the same problem. i hope you at least have a test light.

Primary wire from Battery to junction block gone. I meted one once and it kills everything but the Battery still looks good.

+1 on the fusible link or other wiring directly at the horn relay or junction block behind the battery. I have experienced exactly what happened to you. Car is fine, then all of a sudden, no nothin'. No headlights, starter, etc. Turns out I had a bad connection right at the horn relay, which carries all the power to your headlights and interior of your car, including the ignition switch.

Thanks for all of the replies fellas! Got the problem fixed today. It was a blown interior fuse behind the battery. Thank again to all that replied!!

Now you should find out what caused this so it doesn't happen again.

It was a short in the headlight switch.
