WHen you say you have nothing, are you refering to the electrical system, engine, or both?

Im sorry, meaning there is nothing, lights or anything, the battery was checked and is good, so I was wondering what to check next. Thank you for replying

Start with making sure the ground to the engine block is good, clean, and tight. Also, I believe there is a power distribution box under the hood. Make sure the fuses are good.
