Default No power at all

I have no power at all when I turn the key. I bought a brand new battery and still nothing. I was told the ignition switch but before I go any further I want to get some opinions. Can it be a burnt fuse?

First step is to make sure the negative batt cable is making good contact where it's bolted to the frame.

I am assuming that you own a 1970 Corvette??? You did not state the year model in your thread.

I am not meaning to insult you.

But how well versed are you in automotive repair and do you have the tools needed to find this problem....such as a DC voltmeter.

Do you have a wiring diagram for your car and know how to read circuits???

Check to see if you have power on the buss bar on your horn relay if it is a 1970. We will start there.
