That was going to be my question.

IF the car is COMPLETELY Dead, no lights, no nothing - then check the 200amp fuse with a voltmeter. Do you have 12 volts on both sides? The small box next to the battery the size of a pack of cigarettes has three fuses. One 50A power the engine fan. One 50A powers the brake controller. The 200A powers the rest of the ENTIRE car.

I've never seen anyone blow that fuse.
