Exclamation Won't Crank-No dashlights-headlights work.

headlights work, door chimes,
But no dash or radio lights and will not crank. no clicking just will not crank.

Changed ignition and starter relay fuses and nothing still.

Any suggestions?

Check all your fuses. I can't recall exactly but I think there is an ECM fuse or something similar which will cause your symptoms. Best thing to do first is to make sure there are no blown fuses though.
