Look at the battery and/or the cables as well. When no power is cranking but simple items like the clock and radio work, you may have a poor connection or weak battery. Regardless of appearance, if original battery cables, replace it probably needs it anyways. Make sure the contacts themselves are clean and bright fr best operation. A cable may look OK, but corrosion can run the length of the cable buried under the coating not being seen, heck its a '88 yr.. -----Willy Happy
