I have power to everything until I try to crank the motor. What could be causing this?

Does the vehicle start? and when it does start do all of the accessories not come on? The ignition switch itself is designed to open the accessory circuit when in the start position so that 100% power is dedicated to start the engine, But if the accessories stay of and the starter clicks but does not turn the engine over, the first place that I would look is the battery terminal tightness and cleanliness, then test the battery.
