Hey there Eclipse,

First of all, please edit your profile to include the YEAR of your Special....there are differences in wiring and such between the years, that way we can better offer advice based on your specific model/year!

I don't remember all the details of your machine, what you've done to it? Electrical problems are a bummer. You're right to check the fuses, the holders and such! Also, you'll need to check your battery to ensure that it hasn't gone bad. You can try jumping from a car battery WITH THE CAR NOT RUNNING, and see if it works! Lots of things to check/rule out, poor grounds, connections, starter solenoid, etc.
