Do the hazard lights work? If not, clean and tighten the battery connectors, as well as the battery ground wire attached to the chassis.

Check the battery ground like others have suggested, and make sure both + and - connections are solid and tightened.

Next, I would try moving the ground to a different location like Castillo847, as I've had friends do the same it work for their car.

Let us know what happens

Then the problem is either a dead battery, bad battery connectors, a bad battery ground, or a bad hood fuse box.
