i checked the fuses that usually blow, but i don't think it is the fuses this time. the battery is fully charged...but i turn the key and nothing happens. no crank, no power to acessory, no lights in the step-lights. the car was fine before i left for vacation four days ago, i don't think i did anything to it. any ideas..?

 

I had something like this happen to me when i had a short in my o2 sensor, give it a look,sounds like the same symptons that i had. At least you werent in the middle of an intersection when it happened to you, my car just stopped and wouldent do anything......

 

is there anything I can physically do right now to check my car? it's sitting in the garage, and it's a ton of metal...it wont do ANYTHING.

 

i know it may be a stupid suggestion, but make sure both the terminals are on the battery well. maybe try cleaning them. this happened to me on one of my other cars and it turned out to be a corroded connector. good luck on figuring it out....

 

my hayes manual doesn't seem to have anything i can look at either...

 

There are some fuses under the hood. These aren't the regular small fuses you have like in the drivers side fuse panel. These fuses are much bigger. Look under your hood for the fuse box and there will be three fuses in that box you need to change. Strauss does NOT carry them, auto zone does. Strauss is a dumbass store, i dislike them alot.
