Engine first start

Is there a light on any of the switches? If so it has to have a ground.
 
I think i may have narrowed it down. When i disconnect my headlight harness that goes through the firewall, things act normal except the turn signals don't flash (no load, so that's expected)

my horn wire got ripped out one day when i was pushing the car around the garage, and it may have taken something else with it which would really suck, as it's all wire loomed tight and hidden under the fender

The panel has no ground wire, which is why im wondering where the damn thing gets a ground from. Must be through the mounting bolts to the chassis, which i find stupid.

Battery is charged yes, did that this morning and has been checked periodically.

Run a temp ground from the panel chassis to a good ground on the car.
 
I thought you called in the heavy hitters to get that thing running? I'm pulling for you. I think you'll still beat doolie to the track, or at least to the driveway. Don't be a pussy.....grab a couple of jumper wires, twist the key and light that fukr off!
 
Some times we just need a little momentum to get going......a kick start if you will.

they are starting their trip his way at 5am with an ETA of 9:30am Friday morning
 
When you check for ground with that probe and it beeps, take a DVM and measure voltage from that same point to ground, you will probably see some voltage back-feeding from that circuit, and it should be ZERO because it is a ground.

The power probe will show a backfeed i believe.

I say this because my turn signal circuit shows 10.9v when it should be grounded
