I ran an American Autowire harness in my Camaro, I followed the instructions exactly. I tried to turn on the headlights, I get nothing. I tried turning the ignition, the car won't crank.

I used a multimeter to test if I was getting power in the dash, it says I am (tested the dash ground with the radio power wire.

Any ideas?

Got the headlights on, bad ground.

Still can get it to crank over, I'm going to try to jump it with a screwdriver tomorrow.

I have found that the majority of electrical problems are related to bad grounds. You may want to check resistance to ground at the starter (or block). If it is high, you may want to try running a temporary ground wire from the batter to the starter housing (or engine block)
