If nothing electrical works, and the car won't jump start off your Trans Am,
it sounds like your battery is shorted out.  Try using a different battery
in your Midget and I'll bet it works.

Works fine for now.

no matter what we just can't get anything electrical to work at all.
Nothing. Even with my Trans Am supplying the juice. We checked the fuses,
and the top one is out. The handbook said that that fuse is not for anything
important though. Anyone have any ideas on what's wrong? There is a little
wire on the top of the battery which is connected to both the positive and
negative terminals, and has a little harness, which isn't connected to
anything. Should it be?
