Hello Scotty, seen your video you are awesome. So my car all of a sudden died yesterday when I tried to start it the power went out as If it had a dead battery. Mechanic friend came tested violate on battery said it was fine. Tested the starter said its not the starter. Tried to do some kind of crossing starter wires to see if the car would at least turn or tried to crank not sure what he was talking about but that didn't work. Said it's not the alternator. The dome lights work but tail lights or headlights don't come-on. When you try to start it the dome lights stop working but come back on after a few seconds. Sometimes the check  engine light and the door sound come on and the battery error light comes on but no cranking sound. Mobile mechanic on the way, thinks ots ignition switch but I'm not convinced as key turns over normal. Any ideas or suggestions? I'll have to tow it to mechanic shop later of thos mobile mechanic fails to get It started. Mechanic friend thinks it's a short  / electrical.  Please help Scotty and thank you. Chevy astro 2000 was working fine
