Been driving the 6.2 Suburban for a while and its been a pleasure. Had a starting issue this week that has me scratching my head.
Cranked to start one morning and didn't fire on the first crank, which is typical. Allowed GP to cycle again, and when light went off, I cranked again and got a fuse/breaker "pop" sound, and everything went out--no dash lights, no dome light, and no key-in-ignition buzz.
One battery is new (bought in September) and the other was tested at the auto parts store, in September, as "good".
I checked fuses under the dash, all are intact. I assume Circuit breakers would re-set after disconnecting both batteries, which I did, but still no power.
Search on this site indicates nothing specific (found some interesting Ford 6.9 stuff). Any suggestions?
I think my next step should be to unravel the wire loom and inspect the fusible link (blue) wire to the solenoid at the firewall.
