The battery and terminals are fine, that I know. When I put the key in the ignition the interior lights come on, but not the dash lights. I then turn the key and there is no power whatsoever. The car will not turn over, the starter does not click, the car just is dead possibly from a bad fuse or loose ground wire. I appreciate any possible leads that you guys could give me. Thanks.

Hi:
If you're getting power to the dome lights, the terminals must be ok. Does anything happen when you turn the key (dome lights dim.) If not, my first target would be the ignition switch itself.
