Starting problem '86 951

Tried to start the car on Saturday and just got a click, and then no power to dash or auxiliaries. Then I jumped it and it started fine so I took it out to see if it would charge. When I returned and tried a restart, click, no start no power to all dash, aux or anything. Tried to start with another jump, but click. After the click, all auxiliaries are dead. I checked the amp draw on the battery and all seems fine. I searched for the alarm box (both locations) and can't find it. I think the PO must have removed it.

I checked Clarks troubleshooting and of course my symptoms hardly fit the trouble shooting guides. I guess I need to get at the ignition switch and ground inspections next. The battery is new via PO and I found loose post connections with similar issues.

Has anyone experienced that "click" followed by loss of power to every auxiliary component and lights?

Thanks in advance for any insight and guidance.
