OK, I've run the searches and couldn't find anything that pertains to the issue I have to chase down.
Tomorrow (Saturday), I'm heading up to recover my 72 AMG M35A2.
According to the soon to be previous owner, everything worked fine until one day he went to fire the truck up, and when he turned on the main power switch, there was nothing. No air buzzer, no juice to the starter button, nothing at all. He went on to tell me he hooked a jumper cable to the starter solenoid and got it fired up and running, but couldn't get power to anything else. He admitted to not knowing much about electrical and wiring so he couldn't give me any info about where the problem might be.
I'm pretty adept at wiring and electrical systems in most vehicles so I got a pretty good idea what to look for, but I'm going into this recovery fairly cold and would like to know if anyone has had this happen to them and what are the most obvious things to look for and where to find them. I have a TM and schematics saved on my laptop and will be taking it with me for reference, but if someone has any helpful hints to save me some time, I would greatly appreciate it!
If I have to run a temporary lead to correct the problem, I'm ok with that to get the green beast safely home the 500+ mile trip she's gotta make, I'd like to have the gauges and lights working as the majority of my drive will take place after dark. Let the suggestions roll!
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!![A toast to MV's :beer: :beer:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
