My Dodge Van had a complete electrical failure while I was driving it. We looked for a fusible link but nothing looks burned. The starter switch seems pretty sloppy. Could that cause the head lights to go out?

No, the headlights don't go through the ignition switch. Double check the fusible links again. Pull on each one to see if any stretch.

Problem solved, it was a bad battery cable. Thank you for your help.
