I swear I have tried everything with this car short of blowing it up. I have no power at all. The battery, alternator and starter are all new. I have made sure all of it is grounded. None of the fuses appear blown. No lights- nothing. The milage is 129980. I would greatly appericate some ideas as I have a Chilton manual and still can't figure it out.

You should start at the source
The battery and the cables remove cable and clean if you have two cables on the red positive side split them up and clean them good
Get a test light check if you have ground on the engine and check if you getting battery power at the alternator big red connector you have to work your way from the battery out to the starter and it has fusible links on it check that.
Also check the ground wires at the starter holding bolts
GOOD LUCK

It says there is no light on, so I don't think the security system would cause that?
