Does the car start? Sounds like your battery is shot.

did someone turn off the dial for the interior lights?

sorry, I usually start with the dumb, obvious stuff when troubleshooting.

that happened when they were working on my alarm. all my interior lights were off. i freaked out because i hadn't adjusted anything, only after i moved it did i realize that the installer had moved it, possibly cause he knew i'd freak out.

let's hope it's just that.

You probably blew a fuse. The interior lights is on teh TAIL LIGHT fuse, so check that fuse. Its on the driver kick-panel area.
