Now what you need to is check all your large maxi fuses in the underhood fuse box make sure there is power to both sides of them.Especially check the ignition maxi fuses.Let me know what you found.

Thank you! Fuses were fine, maxi fuses seemed to be OK considering the metal arches in the middle were still intact. Still no dash or some lights, no chime, and power windows/locks don't work. What should I do next?? thanks for the help so far, if I could donate a beer I would lol

Alright at the ignition switch connector you should have power to the red wire?With the key in the start position the yellow wire at the ignition switch should have power?In the run position the orange wire should have power at the ignition switch connector?

Go under your hood look at your belt area look below your alternator you will see a pulley.That's supposed to be spring loaded get a wrench and see if it is.It's between your alternator and your crankshaft pulley let me know what you find.
