JD 455 problems

[mike5.56]

Here's a question for the experts. When trying to start my 455 this AM, I turned the key, waited for the glow plug to extinguish, and when it did, and I turned the key, I heard a pop, and the instruments went dead, as did the starter circuit. I checked the 10A and two 15A CB's and they seem to be intact. Any ideas? All input is appreciated.

Fuzeable link somewhere?
Could be a bad connection also. Check/clean battery connections and connections at the starter and ground.

I don't know. I checked the fuses that were obvious. I'll check the battery connections, but it made a pop before dying.

That pop is where it lost its frame ground connection due to corrosion more than likely.
