A little background :
I've had the power harness wire break before when I first got it..and rewired that with a new wire that I drilled through one of the blank ports of the original harness and just did the wire connection further in the door. I've only had to fix it one more time after that...so this was probably the first fix in 2018- then another repair i think in like 2020 just the wire coming loose and having to refasten it together. So i've gone through some power issues before the only two being door harness or battery replacement or just needing a jump.

Recently power died due to me leaving a light on (as is the norm for me ) and couldn't jump it in time with my wives '15 CRV but my cousin who lives with me was able to do so with his little toyota. I also noticed no spark at all when applying the cables to the battery this was about 5 weeks ago.

On Wednesday morning 12/21 same thing no power. That night i'd' gotten out of the jeep the evening before and i'm sure i turned off all the lights as i was finishing my dinner after work in my driveway so I could throw away the container of kimchee fried rice in the trash before I came in. The car was running though ...so I'm sure it wasn't a dome light or other lights left off.

So I go to start it and nothing not even dome lights no lights on the dash at all nothing like completely completely dead.

Tried to jump again with the crv in the driveway again no dice

put multimeter on my battery and it's readying around 10-11 volts so there IS power.....but again no sparking sparking when i connect the cables (this could be me just not knowing **** about **** I admit that).

SO now i'll go check the door harness again and finally find a battery to put back in to my multimeter to test - I also cleaned the terminals on teh battery yesterday some buildup but I dont think it was huuugely bad. I need to replace the cables going to the battery the negative has a big ''ol chunk of one side of the cables cut (since i've bought it). I think i can get a harness setup from an autoparts store ..anyways it's been running that way ever since I purchased it ....so not thinking that's the culprit.

OK I'll come back with multimeter results and freshly cleaned terminals attached with results. I'll check the door wire as well. Merry Pre Christmas Eve day.
