The car won't start. The battery is good, but everything is dead, no dash lights, head lights, or anything, and doesn't crank. All the fuses are good, checked under hood and inside. And fuse next to battery in the trunk is good. Tried jump start, and got nothing. Ignition was replaced last year under that recall, and shouldn't be the problem, is it possibly a bad wire from trunk to front of car? Or maybe something else electrical?

I don't know where the engineers hid the fuse box that belongs under the hood with the battery, but look on yours for a smaller positive battery wire bolted to it. It's pretty common on all cars for that connection to cause everything to be dead. Clean the terminal and tighten that nut. Also follow the smaller negative battery wire to the body and be sure that connection isn't loose or rusty.
