If everything is going out (no lights, no nothing) then you probably have a loose or grounding primary wire, main fuse that is loosing connection, or something along those lines.

I would suggest checking all harnesses for dmg, cleaning and greasing all connections.

Oh, and make sure your battery cables are tight.

harness looks like new,all connections are grease,ground is good. it will not start now,been sitting all night,but did notice that oil light was on and park lights were 1/2 on, even with fresh battery just bought and just charge, hit crank switch...dead...now horn dont blow. still got 1/2 park light.also got both rear signal lights on like park lights..need ghost busters.
