It sounds like you have a failed fusible link. There are some down at the starter, but three of them are at a connector by the battery. Two of the three conductors have a habit of melting the terminals in the connector. I moved my melted ones to a new connector. The remaining one doesn't seem to carry as much current, so I have the new one and the original (with only one wire left in it). 1754229228570.webp
 
thanks for the follow up. Checked the links, all 3 terminate at a junction box on the firewall and all have 12 v. When i bought the car it had an alarm system that was acting up so i removed some wires under the dash , maybe i did something to cause the alarm to disable the electrical system ,looking into that, also all fuses in fuse box are all good with power going to the box. This car was driven the night before the problem with no problems
