No power whatsoever

Welcome back:

You mentioned that the lights only dim for a second. Do they return to normal only after you release the key from the start position or can you hold it in the start position and they still return to normal?

Also, I attached a portion of the starting system schematic. I circled thing I need you to check.

Let me know what you find.

Welcome back:

We now need to back track. Have you checked the fuses and relays I mentioned?

Hi,

If there is another relay in the box with the same part number, switch them. Or, here is a link that shows how it's done:

Hi,

No problem on the delay. If the lights go out and then come back on, it isn't the safety switch. Something is causing a power loss. Most commonly a bad ground at the engine or at the battery. Are you certain the starter isn't getting power via the smaller wire connected to the S terminal on the starter? It will only get power when the key is in the start position.
