Default electrical dead

340 hp, 64k, while driving entire electrical went dead. jumping had no results. clock stopped, no power anywhere. spring ring cables need replacing as they are loose, but jump cables were attached to spring ring part.

any thoughts?

do a forum search for "red wire", without the quotes, of course.
could be a lot of things, however you need to know about some of the known and aggrivating maladys c2 cars have.
read, troubleshoot, and report your findings.
good luck,
chuck
