    Dead Not at all cranking need help

    Hi, friends, I have an e30 with m10 in it, this car ran some 8years back but was left uncared. I got it and I am trying to restore it. the wiring is fine not eaten by rats. the problem is it is not cranking at all and i am not getting any lights in the speedo console. Please help me with a systematic approach, guide me with some instruments that can be used to solve the problem.

      So you have a good battery in the car and when you turn the key nothing happens?

        yes the battery is good, tried checking the voltage through multimeter. i am using the Bentley manual but i dont know where the real problem is. if you have any systematic approach it will be well appreciated.

          ok so when you turn the key the fuel pump doesn't prime and there is no activity on the gauge cluster/radio/headlights/etc?

              when you turn the key do you hear the fuel pump under the rear seat prime?
