if you still get power to trunk, then its no the battery wire fuse. have you checked both fuse boxes? one under the dash & the one in the engine compartment. some times fuse may look good. check the fuse base to see if there is any melting or burnt marks.
Check your battery and starter connections. Are they all clean and tight, and correctly situated? Make sure no corrosion impedes electrical power.
Doesn't sound like you blew any fuse. You might have to look at a wiring diagram to test the starting system. With the key held in start, there should be power on the small wire at the starter solenoid (mounted on the starter motor). That is a good place to start-use a test light or voltmeter to test. If the small wire shows power, have the starter tested at a parts store. If no power with key held in start, then you do need a wiring diagram. The starting system is not all that complicated-it is pretty straightforward.
Nothing works? How about the headlights, do they work? If yes, then start checking all fuses in the Power Distribution Center or Box under the hood. If no, then look for a bad maxi-fuse in the PDC, and check for a bad fusible link between the battery and the PDC. The battery positive cable goes to the starter, but a pigtail lead off the positive would go to the PDC, to distribute power to all the various circuits on the car. When you turn the key to on, does the dash light up? If yes, at least power is getting to, and going through the ignition switch. One could then check for power on the starter solenoid wire when key was held in crank or start position. If nothing when turning key to on-no dash lights, nothing-then check for an ignition fuse in the PDC. If fuse is good check for power being available at the ignition switch connector. If no power there, check wiring between PDC and the ignition switch-if power is up to the switch, but nothing happens with key on, no dash or warning lights, then could have a bad ignition switch. It just sounds like a maxi-fuse has blown, or a bad fusible link. Good luck.
There is a reset switch on your car that has to be reset, It is under the dash on the passenger side right behind the dash pannel. Or it may be behind the foot pannel on the side of the car. There is a button that you have to push in order to reset the switch. There will be a red light come on when it is reset. Good luck.
assuming the battery is good. if none of the dash light come on while the key is in the ignition and it turn to on position, check fuse and relay and ignition systems. see if you can play with with ignition systems by jiggle and wiggle turning the key back and forth start the engine and see if you get any contact. all dash light has to come on when the key is turn to on position, if not you have no power to ECU. ecu turn on everything from your fuel pump and the sparks. hope that help some
when the car ignition is turn on all accessory lights should lite up telling the computer everything is in good contact. If none of the dash lights is not lighting up you don't have a good ignition contact and computer is not getting any power. your stater will crank and turn the engine over only but the fuel pump and ignition module and other accessary is not turn on, the car will not start. What turn everything on is your computer, computer; control all items like fuel pump, sparks etc. You have to get all dash light working again in order for computer to turn on. Check all the fuses and relay under the hood, next your ignition switch in your steering wheel may be faulty allowing only starter to work and not others. this unit wear out and common problems to all cars, parts is 35 buck to replace and you going to have to take the steering columns apart to get to it. Not easy but it will take time. Get all the dash light working and you will be back in the game. good luck and hope that help some
check if the batteries in key remote are good. if good nedd to reset your key by putting in the ignition just turn the dash lights on ...dont start the car and once the ignition lights shows on the dash board just press unlock and lock once ot twice until it locks and unlocks while u in the car. try that it had worked for me before should do for urs.
When you turn the key to on, the dashlights have to come on and go off when you turn it to the starting position. Make sure you have a good battery first. No dash lights indicate a bad ignition switch. Check all fuses and relays. But I am pretty sure it is the ignition switch.
