No Power, Please Help!
I went to start my car up yesterday and when I went to turn the key all the lights and everything came on as normal; then when I went to crank it up it just went dead. Nothing has power, no lights, cant lock the doors ect... I was pretty sure the battery wasnt dead because I had just been driving it and because of the manner it just cut off. So I tried to jump it off today just to make sure and it still has no power, so I guess that means I can rule out the battery. So what could it be? A fuse or something?

Check the battery/connections first. When my stock battery went south found out by just going out in the morning and it was so dead the remote wouldn't even unlock the doors. Started fine the day before. If you have a DC digital volt meter see what it says, or have it load tested if for no other reason just to eliminate it as being the problem.

Is the "security" light on in the dashboard? This can be caused with the anti-theft system shutting down power. Problem is the key's electronic signal is corrupt. Sometimes it will start and sometimes it will not. Solution is to get new tumblers and a new key made...only if your "security" light is coming on in the dashboard.

My T/A did the same thing, I went to a buddies and it worked fine, a few hours later it wouldnt start, the lights came on and everything seemed normal, but it wouldnt turnover, swapped batteries out and it worked fine. Batteries have a way of just dropping dead.
