Default Big electrical problem need help asap

Ok, right now my car is recieving little to no power from the battery. I mean NOTHING has power. I was in a carwash today, and as always I turned off the engine, and just turned on accessory power so I could listen to the radio. Carwash ended, and I attempted to start the car. As soon as I turned the ignition, all power died, and that was that. The battery is fine, I've checked it for a charge. I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.

Do you still have a problem, or did you correct it?

The first thing I would look at, (assuming the battery is okay), would be the battery cables, and terminals.

You are a little late. I doubt his car is still sitting at the car wash place after a year.
