Hey guys,

I went to a friends apartment to get some dog food and when I came back out my car wouldn't start. Before you say anything, I don't believe it is the VATS thing because that happened to me about a month ago and I am aware of the security light and all that accompanies the vats problem. I did however try a spare key and it didn't work.

Here's what happens:
1) Turn the key, nothing happens. I am allowed to fully turn the key once inserted but no ticks, sounds, or anything.
2) Nothing on the instrument panel comes up. No security light or any other light for that matter. The gauges don't move and there is pretty much no power to the gauges.
3) I can turn the headlights on w/o turning the car on so I don't think its the battery

The car had been running fine until now. Do you think maybe its the fuse for the gauges? Call me dumb, but how can I tell if its blown or not?

Thanks for any help!

check your fuse box,
maybe ignition fuse?
