First of all check ALL your battery connections, grounds, starter relay and that in the starter.

BTW what wires did you wiggled?

Check your battery cables. If you've already done this, consider it a free bump.

Thanks a bunch guys, I havent really figured it out (totally). I know it is in my bat cable. I have both bats hooked up, termnals are clean and tight, starter is tight and the nuts are tight too. Turned the key this morning, no power. Turned the lights on, no lights. Opened the hood, wiggled bat cable going to left bat, power came on. Feel stupid, This aint a hard one to figure out I am sure. But at least i should have lights as both bats are hooked up. They are both good bats prolly 2 years old, bought them at same time. 850 cc amps.
