Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.
I have a 67 Pontiac Bonneville that just, what I think, electrically died on me. It's not doing anything. NO lights or nothing. This is the first time this has happened, not to mention, I've been the owner since Jan 2007.
I started it up and drove it 2 blocks and it completely shut off. I waited a few secs and turned the key and it started up, but put it in drive and went another block and it died for good.
I applied booster cables to attempt a jump but nothing. Took the battery out and had it checked at AutoZone and the battery is perfect. I started looking at the battery terminals, they were both corroded badly, but the AutoZone Manager stated that it wouldn't be the terminals preventing a complete electrical shut down as such.
I even connected a new battery to the Bonneville but nothing still. I'm thinking wiring harness or something electrical.
Also, what would case battery terminals to corrode so fast? Is there a special heavy duty type that I can use to prevent this or is there a short or open the electrical system of the car?
Can anyone diagnose this issue?
Thanks,
