[alfa] Berlina -- No Juice!



Interesting problem, fellow Alfisti.

Drove Berlina one day, ran fine, parked it in garage. Next day, there is no juice getting to the cockpit -- no radio, no lights, no instruments, no interior lights... absolutely nothing. Newish battery is fully charged and engine turns quickly when using hidden under hood starter button (installed by previous owner). Just zero juice to anything (even electric fuel pump fails to power up).

Throughout dozens of hands on experiences with previous classic cars, I am at a loss. Is there a fuseable link that could be shot? Or could it something more electrically simple, like a disconnection somewhere in the engine bay? I thought maybe the ignition switch, but even the heater fan is dead, and that used to fire up without a key in the ignition. It's throwing me off that one day it was fine and the next day -- no electrical (that's how it always happens...).

Any ideas will be met with thanks.
