How do you know your battery has "juice" if everything's dead? Take a look at the smaller read positive battery cable where it bolts to the under-hood fuse box. Be sure that connection is clean and tight. Check both battery cable connections too, then check where the smaller black wire from the negative battery cable attaches to the body sheet metal to be sure it's clean and tight.
