Did you check the main fuse block under the hood?

Thanks for your response...I"ll check the main fuse box. Not exactly sure how to check those big *** fuses..lol. I assume its just like checking the small ones. Any other ideas guys?

Maybe your starter is shot?

lights would still come on if it was the starter. it's probably the fuse.

oh and to check those fuses (never checked those fuses myself), i think you could us a multimeter and set it to Ohms. connect the wires from the multimeter to each of the pegs on the fuse and if power goes through it should be good. (someone correct me if i'm wrong)

i think for a fuse continuity will work also.
