Default Help!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is I have zero power to any of my electrical system. Friday I went to the drags and as I was backing out of my spot to go run, the car completely dies. I thought I fat footed the clutch and tried to start it. Nothing. When I say nothing, I mean nadda.
My internal lights don't come on, no ignition what so ever. The battery is fine and even tried jumping it for a dummy check. I crawled under the car today to look at the fuzeable wire off starter. All wires seem to be fine. I checked all wires under the dash to make sure none of the pedals had caught something.
When I got to the car today I opened the door and had power. Electric fuel pumps came on and all looked normal. I bumped the ignition and it went back into above symptoms. Nothing. The red theft light, the night it happened, was flashing very strangely. I suspect it may have something to do with my theft. Dunno. I don't believe this time the red light came on. Any help would be great guys.

Thanks.

I agree with bongva, I know you have checked them, but I would double check. Especially the grounds on the backside of the driverside head. I have missed one of those before and drove myself nuts running the issue down. You might wanna hookup a diagnostic scan tool and check for codes as well. You could also be on the right track with GM passkey as a possible cause. Good luck man..

Hey Scott do your gauge needles max & then zero out when you turn the key to the on position? My car pulled some **** like this one day on my lunch while at a gas station. Did the exact same crazy ****. Ended up being the battery. It checked out fine but only started after putting in a new one.

Could also be the stock theft system malfunctioning. I have heard of this happening when that goes. If your key kinda wobbly in the ignition, like it's starting to wear?
