I need some help

Zach Hertzig · February 17

I have a 1974 k10, 350sbc, sm465, I went to start my truck tonight, lights came on fan was running, but when I went to start it, it clicked a few times and all power shut off in the truck. Power came back after letting sit but had the same issue when I tried it again. Battery and starter are new, I suspect a bad cable. anyone have this issue in the past? Any help is appreciated!

You're on the right track. A bad or loose cable somewhere is a likely cause.

If you can jump the starter with a screw driver, you more than likely have an issue with wiring.

Could also be a bad fuseable link. There are 2 main ones. One down by the starter hot wires and one up between the power brake booster and left valve cover- On the firewall.
