WHwest8597 85 #1 Posted April 29, 2017 My 1996 314-8 Will not start. Battery is good and checked all the fuses. No power to lights when I turn the key. I can jump from battery to the starter and it fires right up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next, clean and tighten all electrical connections including grounds; a little bit of voltage drop at multiple locations could be the cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
