Yeah if you have absolutely no power, youre battery may have gone kapoot, or your alternator couldn't charge it to begin with.

Glad to see you got it going. I noticed you are from Ann Arbor. I live just up the road in Saline. Do you hang out anywhere with your car? I am looking for some local people to have a small get together. Nothing any big deal.

Later,

Bill
