Mom's NA Miata is playing dead

[surratta]

charged the battery. no dice.

replaced the main 80amp fuse in the engine bay. no dice.

what's next? I mean, we can take it to a real shop where I'm sure it'll get fixed. but what else can a pretender like me do?

Ground Connection?
You say dead, like nothing lights up?
Or, not enough to turn it?
??

[surratta]

dead, as in no lights on dash, no crank, no nothing. like the battery was disconnected.

Did you solve the problem? If yes, what was the cause? If not, I can help via email as we live quite a distance apart.

doh, I should've posted. it was user error on my part. let's not go into details... let's leave it at "was just me being dumb".
