they are working on the streets in front of the house so this morning at 4:30 am I go out to move the jeep and no start, cranks but wont start, too early to troubleshoot . I leave it and the grandson is nice enough to push it out of the way . When I get back from work it starts right up no problem , its been raining so its my duty to drain the water from all those holes in the unpaved alleys.Anyway long story short I hit bump and it dies I have lights,door buzzer but no radio or heater .Now it wont crank just a click

I've checked all the connections , checked the battery it reads 12.4 volts when i turn the key i get no voltage at all again the only thing working is the lights and the buzzer that sounds when you leave the key in and open the door . radio ,clock,heater ,wipers are all not working???

No voltage with key on or at start. According to the voltmeter in the dash, which did work before the temp guage moves a little at start but that's it
