You could have a bad ignition switch. Have you tried jumpering the
switch?<br>

<div>The car is a 66 BJ8 and will not start. It will not crank,
there isn't an ignition light and the fuel pump does not run.
Nothing works electrically. No blown fuses.</div>

<div>I have an alternator and negative ground on the car. The
car has started properly for the couple of years I have owned
it (previously 35 years with a BJ7). The battery is fully
charged and shows 12.65 volts at the battery terminals.
Voltage at the starter solenoid to ground is 12.57.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I jumper the positive terminal of the battery to the
battery connection on the starter solenoid the car will
start. The voltage at the starter solenoid (with the car
running and jumper removed) is 14.65 and the same at the
battery terminals and the car continues to run properly. So,
the alternator is charging the battery, all electrical items
work and all is fine at this point.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I turn the car off, the same issue repeats and there
is a no start, no ignition light or fuel pump condition,
nothing working electrically.</div>

<div>What am I missing here and what do I check next?</div>
