Default HELP! (No electricty to car)

My car has been running fine. Only thing i know i need to change is my BCM b/c of my radio/power windows intermittently shutting off.

So here is what happened:
Car was working fine this morning...
I go to start it, it cranks up like normal, then stays on for about 1 second then my car shuts off along with all the electronics. There is absolutely no electricity coming into my car. No lights will come one, nothing power works, alarm won't work right, putting key in won't make the beeping sound, nothing inside the car itself will work. The battery is good and all checked the fuses in the engine compartment. Except i don't know how to check those big square ones.


Anyone have any idea what happened to my car?

Yes the battery connections are good. The power is going to the fuses boxes. The only prob is no electricty at all is making it to the interior of the vehicle.

The interior is acting like the battery is disconnected but the battery is good and connected.

check the ground to the engine block. how old is the car, how many miles? the ground could be very corroded or loose.
