I bought a 91 ser with a 95 engine swap. Probably the worse purchase ever.

I got out side and my car is covered in snow. I turn the key the dash lights up but when i try to crank everything goes dead its like the battery is dead buts its not.

After a little while some times the dash lights come back on but again I turn the key and everything goes dark even the dome lights shuts off.

Any ideas? I pulled all the fuses in the box in the car except like 3 engine ones and still nothing.

Battery is dead...they can hold a slight charge and such, also i noticed you said your car was covered in snow, make sure the Cold Cranking amps on the battery are high, if its to low it won't produce enough power....
