Car will not start!

Yes I know. It's another one of these "oh my car won't start, help me!" threads.

All I ask for is your assistance.

So. Here it goes. I got a 89 coupe a few weeks ago, running perfectly, started right up every time. No hesitations. I recently was driving it home and parked it in the driveway after driving for about an hour with no issues. I then turn the car off and go inside for a few minutes and come back out to start the car and leave. It starts right back up no problem, I start backing out and make it about 2 feet and the car just does. Out of nowhere. Just stalls out and dies.

The lights all work, the dash lights won't light up, the car doesn't make any clicking sounds, the windows won't roll down now. I really have no idea what happened.

I have changed the alternator thinking that would fix the issue. But nope. Still won't start.

Even with jumper cables hooked up, still nothing

Please help me out.

Thanks!

Sounds like electrical bud.
Check ground connections on the fusebox inside the engine compartmant. Thats what power the interior. If theyre good, check fuses. Battery has 12.6 v?

Is your car lowered? If so check the wiring harness under the both the driver and passenger sides and see if your tires chewed through..

The car is lowered a lot but i did tuck the harnesses above the rail lip on both sides. They didn't get rubbed through that I can see. I'll take a better look tomorrow
