Check for error codes, then, if there are none I have two questions. Does the starter make any noise when you turn the key? Have you set off or removed the stock alarm system?

Thanks for the info:
no noise from the starter.
Its been raining where i live so I havent had the time to check yet But will asap.
I havent set off,or removed the alarm system, But I bought this car with this issue ,so maybe the previous owner set off the alarm .
I dont think the alarm has been removed though
Thanks again for the help.

1, no power to ignition
2, no power windows
3, no windshield wipers
4, no dash/gauge lights,or gauge activity when the key is on the on position
5, no door lights when the doors are open
6, no beeping sound when key is in the ignition

Lol.... uh, let's go with the shorter list... is there anything that's actually getting power?

Get the battery tested and test the fusible link in the engine bay fuse box (on older models it just looks like a burnt chunk of wire... it's supposed to look like a thick, insulated wire).

If the fusible link needs replaced, do NOT replace it with regular wire.

Issue has been resolved
it was the fuseable link ..Looped.. wire in the fuse block under the hood
most likely never been replaced in 2O years
