Default 1995 Total Electrical Failure

I have a 1995 ZF6 that went totally dead on crank. IT acted like normal for a fraction of a second, then total electrical failure. No lights, sounds, etc. as if someone just ripped the battery out of the car. battery is showing good, and no noticeable issues easily seen, no blown traditional fuses that I can find.

This happened to me and it was simply the connections at the battery… remove, clean and then firmly tighten the terminals and see if that does it.

Check the fusible links behind the battery also just in case its not loose or dirty battery connections

There is no one fuse that will cause the car to be dead.
Most likely a battery terminal, seen that many times..
Could be battery, low possibility.
