Hi Community!
I have put my 1981 Camaro with a 350 motor in a garage in November. I had to remove the battery because the interior lighting did not turn off even if I closed the door. But after that everything was set to let my baby sleep over the winter and I was not worried about the problem with the lighting... But of course there were some issues when I tried to take her out for a ride last week. The horn DOES work but nothing else and I checked the battery. No lights, no cranking, no radio... nothing. How is that possible ? I mean the car was not driven since November. I appreciate every advice and help to make her run again.

Fusible link may have blown. Check for power/continuity between the battery cable post on the starter, and probe further up that line. Interior lights don't go off. Let me guess, did you replace the incandescent bulbs with LED's?

The owner in Virginia replaced the bulbs with LED´s that's right, but what impact does that have on the car? I forgot to mention the car is equipped with a immobilizer but when the Car was in the shop (where they also disconnected the battery) did it not cause any problems so I thought it's broken anyways. Thank you so much for you help!

To clarify, are the lights staying completely on, or on but dim? The interior lights always have power going to the bulb, the door switch completes/breaks the ground to turn them on and off. LED's can be more sensitive to the slightest ground to make them glow, where a conventional bulb wouldn't light up. Has the immobilizer been bypassed?
The LED‘s were as bright as always, it‘s just weird because all doors were closed and there was no key in the ignition lock and the LED‘s were stil on until I removed the battery. I never had to bypass the immobilizer but I think you‘re right saying some fuse burned... I‘ll buy some new ones today and see if I can find a burned one. Thank you so much for your help!!!
Electric issues?
