Hi,

Do you hear a single click when you crank the key?

If so then check fuse F1 80A (Under Hood)

nope not a single click!! nuthin at all
how do i know if the fuse is busted

Hum,
Check Fuse F3 50 Amps (Under hood) (Since you hear no click)

Hold the fuse against light and you shall see a filament connection both the sides.

If this filament is broken or looks burnt the fuse in no good

ok i looked under the hood on dat f3 50A, i think its the one with the key drawing and no.3 on the diagram, i checked out the fuse and i didnt see any damage or it lookin burnt. as a matter of fact when i unscrewed the fuse and pulled it out it the power and lights went off in side the car.
so............. any info ??
thanks
