Ok , went to crank my girl, to turnover at all. Rode her home from the Bar lSt night with no problems battery seemed dead, read barely 2v, charged, tried start again and just a kinda click with no motor turnover whatsoever, and the dash lights go out ,,,battery reads 12+v, seems like a short, battery probably a year old ? Starter fuse is good , what is the dog bone fuse ? As always thanks for the input !!Mofla,,98 Tourer, approaching 80k

  my first guess would be Dirty battery connections or ground wire to frame loose or dirty. Ground wire is down by alternator

It's really hard to understand you.  Bad typing.  Hard to guess you're problem.  Jump it to your car and if all is good  get a new battery and properly charge it before use.

Check your voltage drop during crank cycle, again verify all connections and grounds are good and secure.

Lol , yea , guess I wasn’t clear,,battery reads charged, doesn’t crank at all,,,,and pressing the starter button knocks out the neutral lights like it shorted out ,,,,then resets after a few minutes and the touching the starter button starts the whole process over again,,,,
