Had my Challenger out today to let it warm up in the driveway. Started fine when I pulled it out of the garage. Pulled it back in and tried to restart it....nothing. Won't turnover, no solenoid click...nothing. Also, headlights/taillights do not work now. Dome light works when you open the door, but when you switch the headlights on, it shuts off. Battery tested at about 12.5V and was charging when I had it running. Checked the fusible link and it is continuous and same with the back of the ammeter gauge. Any suggestions on where to look? Oh, by the way, I hate electrical problems. Thanks in advance. Burke

I'd clean the batt posts, the neg cable, both ends then work downstream on the positive side toward the bulkhead, cleaning each connection. No recent wiring repairs under the dash?

Yer neg terminal on batt is dirty.
