I've got a 94 S10 Blazer that didn't pass insp this time mostly due to body rust. It's been sitting for a bit over a month. I went to try and start it. Experience told me that the battery would probably need charging (was old and occ needed it if I didn't go anywhere for several days). The charger read that battery full but I left it on for a couple hours anyway. When I tried to start it (stiil read full charge but I left chgr on 'quick start'), I get no readings on the dash - no elec at all. Doesn't take much to figure it's because it was sitting so long, but what should I look at first to get elec flowing again?

. Clean battery terminals and connections.

. Test all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

. Check ignition switch and harness for wear, pitting, or melting.
