Hi,
I am asking this for a neighbor of mine as I have done a few times in the past. He has a 59 Retractable and is having a problem where there is no power going to the car from the battery. Another words with the battery hooked up the interior lights don't go on, head lights don't go on, car obviously wont crank - Nothing.

I checked a few things for him with my volt meter. The battery is fully charged. There is 12.5volts going from the batter to the side of the starter solenoid. There is nothing after that. There is 12.5volts going to the Does that mean the solenoid is bad? The car is in great shape and he runs it all the time.
One minute the car had power and started and the next time he went to start the car everything was dead?
Thanks for your time.
