Re: 95 astro died, won't start
Sounds like the fuseable links have gotten hot at their connection behind the battery-- seen it about 6 times- the ends melt off at the plug in terminal. My fastest way to tell people to diagnose was to ask them, does horn work? It is on same fuseable link as the fuel pump....The best thing you have got in this scenario, is that stuff that doesn't work!! At least it is not intermittent!!
A good mechanic would have found this already in his circuit tracing....
All your description seems to fit- my '94 was the fuel pump fuseable link.
The easiest fix is to cut all four fuseable links off of terminal plug, and fashion round terminal ends- and attach those new terminal ends to the accessory stud right next to melted plug...works good, and never again a problem.
