Guys, I have a problem with my Charger 72 SE 400. A few days ago I started it after almost half a year of parking it in the garage - I managed to start it on the third or fourth attempt. I left the engine to run for a while, turned it off and the plan was to drive it this morning. I open the car, none of the lights inside the car are on, I unscrewed the battery and charged it, although it looks like it wasn't flat. I screwed in the battery and no change, no power at all, not even the lights are on, not to mention starting the car. It's strange because I started it 4 days ago and everything worked. Can you advise where the problem might be?
No power

Could be a defective battery since it's been not used for a while. Based on what you say, might want to try disconnecting your battery and use jumper cables to connect to battery wires of your car from another car or known good battery. When you do, If your lights work that would prove it is or is not your battery. Batteries can act weird when defective. Can be ok then nothing. Worth a try.

Check any and all grounds to make sure there's no corrosion.
Provided the battery has 12.5 volts or more.
Either one of the battery cables or the fusible link off the starter relay stud would be the likely candidate.
Get a cheap meter and start testing at the battery, then at the starter relay.

Thanks for your help. I checked the battery under load and it turned out to be okay. All the fuses were okay. Apart from one that was once installed right after leaving the positive polarisation, supposedly because there is a big amplifier in the trunk, but I don't know why it is around the entire circuit. It turned out that this fuse in the housing has no connection. I cut it out and connected it with a steel connector temporarily. The car drives and that's the most important thing 
Looks like a " Flux Capacitor "
I would follow / trace that wire if the stereo is gone and see were it is going / ran in the car.
