and if you do have a DC voltage meter check at the battery from terminal to terminal, then check from positve of the battery to ground for the same voltage. then check from negative terminal to a posive point either at the starter selenoid or under hood fuse box. you should be getting the same voltage at all test points, if you dont then you have a bad cable. the only other test you can do is to do an amperage draw test on each lead to make sure it didnt "pinpoint" or blow open inside the insulation...because just because you can read voltage doesnt mean you will be able to pull amperage, and amperage is what turns the starter, lights the lights and runs the stereo

Get a haynes or Chilton manual with a wiring diagram and look for a fusable link or relay.
