Hello fellows.
I am having a problem with my Cobra that surfaced out of nowhere. Everything seems totally fine with the car (dash lights, accessories, etc.) until I try to turn the key from 'run' to 'ignition.' As soon as I make the turn to try to start it, I hear one (sometimes two, but the second is more faint) loud click and then everything is dead. After the loud click (which I assume is the starter engaging), no accessories will work, no door chime when the key is in - nothing. If I pull the ground from the battery and let everything reset, I am back at square one with a seemingly functioning car until key turn, click, dead.
This thread has a lot of good information that is very, very relevant if anyone tries to help me out:

Now it's easy to assume that I have a bad ground somewhere - I looked a few spots and couldn't find anything definitive.
Furthermore, when I add a ground directly from the terminal to the engine block/chassis, nothing changes!!!
My battery it totally fine, I promise. My car hasn't had any issues starting in the past. No codes are being thrown. I haven't found any blown fuses.
Please help me out here. I just had to tow away my significant other's car because I couldn't get it to start (when it rains it pours). I really need to get one of our vehicles back on the road!
