I know, I know, not another one.

Ok so i have a starting problem. I shoulda done some searching but i don't have time for that. So here's the issue:
I turn on the car and pull it into the garage to do some interior cleaning. I change my mind and decide to clean the throttle body (i was a little bored). But then after im done and everything is back on (i mean everything) i go to start the car and nothing. No noise no clicking no nothing. I dont even get the usual lights on the dash such as the oil light, and check engine light and such. So my first thought is the battery died. Seems odd in such a short amount of time. But thats not it cuz all my interior and exterior lights work. But my radio doesnt work. So now im thinking i might of blown a fuse somehow? I really need a quick fix for this one. Time for the org. to come to the rescue like it always has.

thanks. I didnt touch the battery so it shoudnt be that. I coulda put some of my weight on the intake snorkel which pushed on the starter so maybe i loosened something. but why would that cause me to get no engine lights on the dashboard. hmmmm.....any ideas for which fuses to check? im thinking maybe i shorted something out with my screwdriver.

Ok i narrowed it down to be something wrong with the ignition system. None of the systems that run when the ignition is on are working. I still think its a fuse somewhere.
