Wife's 86 suddenly quit entirely on the way back from taking the kids to school this morning. Engine suddenly quit, car rolled to a stop. She remembers the radio/maybe panel lights on, but not sure. She does say that when she tried to restart it, there were no lights.
It would start/run when jumped w/cable to the starter (solenoid, I assume), but not the battery terminal. When the cables were removed, it quit. This happened while I was at work, so I didn't witness it myself.
There is no response to the key now, as if the battery cables have been disconnected.
Bad ground? What...?
TIA
Mark.
