Re: update on 1979 K10. Everything dead but the lights

I wouldn't throw out the whole harness.
Think basics.
What is the battery voltage on the lead battery terminals? The actual battery not the cables or bolts...
Is the battery voltage the same on the lead terminals as the battery cable terminals? Or at least within .01V...

Do you get battery voltage (within .1v) from the starter BAT lug to the block after you twist the key to the CRANK position, killing everything, and leave it in the ON position with everything dead?

What's the voltage read from the alternator case to the + Battery lug with the key still left in the ON position? Within .1V of the battery itself?
