Default HELP the car won't start

I was working on my 95 z-28(window motors) and i briefly started the vehicle. I then turned it off and tried to restart it like 2 miutes later and it wouldn't do anything. I have no guages, radio, fuel pump, or starter. I have checked fuses and fusible links but stilll have nothing. Interior lights are on and there isn't even a draw on those. Any help would be appreciated

Sure sounds like a fusible link to me. Everything that you're talking about runs off of the ignition switch. I recommend you check your fusible links once more.

Or your battery just happened to go dead out of complete coincidence.

I will re-check the fusible links. If memory serves me correctly, I think there was a problem with one of them in the past. Thanks for your input...

Cigar lighter and horn do not go through ign switch- do they work? If not it has to be fusible link E, according to wiring diagram ,or battery. Do you know how to use a voltmeter?

Battery is probably dead/low...Try jumping it or charging it, see if that does anything.
