See if your main fuse is blown.
It is the big fuse on the main wiring harness by the starter. It usually has black tape all the way around it except for the little window.
Sometimes battery terminals look clean but aren't, clean with coarse grit sand paper.
Put a lock washer of some kind under the ground strap where it goes to frame.

thanks checked all fuses they are good for some reason im loosing ground from battery checked with volt meter from ground terminal on battery to frame and have no continuity but wires from battery are good

I would look at replacing my negative cable, if the cable is disconnected from the battery and from the chassis and you have no continuity between terminal end and ring connection then you have a bad cable. It could show continuity when hooked up and when you turn the key it places such a draw on the system that you loose ground, be careful cause current looks for the path of least resistance and you can run the risk of burning something up if not careful.

there have been alot of posts here about the bolt between the battery cable and the frane causing an issue. some have redrilled a new hole and installed a new bolt and fixed the issue

What Great said, I had to clean mine three times before I got good contact.
