Re: electrical problems.
low on gas is not the problem.....it started and ran for about 3 minutes..and now i have no power..it wont even crank..gasoline cant effect the electrical..all the power i have is dome,headlights,and taillights...no blowers..no heater..no defroster...no door lock..no turn signals,,no door chimes,,no four ways...
 ..does all electrical power run through the starter??

Re: electrical problems.
No the power comes from the battery and only engages the starter when needed..
You need to get the hood open and clean the terminals on the battery at least. Get the battery charging correctly. If the battery was low just running it in place doesnt necessarily charge the battery. You proubbly ran the battery down just running it, especially if the terminals are a problem. Get the hood open and charge the battery and start at that point to diagnose the issues. Good Luck

Re: electrical problems.
If your battery voltage is ok, 12.6V is the best anything less than 12.5 requires charging, but your car will still start. I assume you checked all the fuses and they are ok and there is power at fuses if not then you have problem with fusible link
