I drove my 94 Astro home from work the other day and stopped at the store along the way. When I came out and tried to start it the dome and dash lights came on but everything died when i turned the key. Now absolutely nothing comes on when I try to start.
The battery is holding a charge and up until it died everything was working fine. I assume that a fuse blew but I don't know where to look. I've checked the underdash fuses and they seem to be ok.
Ideas?

Check the fuseible links, I believe there are 4 of them, located on the firewall just behind the battery.

Just do a search for "fusible links" in the astro forum and you come with other Astro owners that have had the same problem.

Found the problem. Connector behind the battery had a melted contact. Cleaned it up and van started right up. thanks for the help.
