2000 C5 Electrically Dead
We've got a 2000 C5 which is electrically dead.
The battery was dead, so I charged it for a short time, and was able to start the vehicle. The next day, I put a full charge on it, but now it won't start, and I get no dash lights, headlights, etc.
I had the battery tested, and it's fine. I'm thinking that its possibly a fuse, micro relay, or fusable link.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There's some good advice in this thread but the thing that's broke is often the thing you last touched. Check the battery terminal connections, make sure they're nice and tight. Also check the grounds and the cables to make sure they are free of corrosion.
