79 Z28 won't start

Last Nov. I drove my 79 Z28 and everything was fine. A few weeks later I got in to drive and nothing. No click, nothing. Put charger on for a few days and still nothing. A few more days charging and still no sound, nothing. Any ideas??

When you turn the key to "run" do the idiot lights come on?

Have you checked the battery terminals and main cable for corrosion?

Fred- It finally warmed up enough to get under the hood and I found a blown fuse in the ground wire from the negative battery cable. That fixed the problem.

Thanks,
