Default 89 Rex runs one day -Nothing next day

Hello, long time CRX owner but new to forum. Ran my 89 CRX as always on my day to day tasks, parked it next morning nothing doesn't crank nothing works, (acts as if there is no battery at all) checked battery charge is fine.

Whats the next thing I should check? I can handle a wrench but since my first 89 (original buyer) I haven't had to.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks......Flypaper

Have you checked for blown fuses @ all? maybe a loose wire?

Not a problem.
So was there a blown fuse under the hood?

Sounds like a bad ignition switch or loose wire somewhere. A blown fuse is blown so the car would have the same broblem everyday if it did have a blown fuse. When the problem occurs is the whole guage unilluminated or not?

There is nothing. its as if there is no battery at all, no ignition click when the key is turned, nothing works just dead silence when the key is turned, no lights nothing. No hint of trouble last time I drove it. Parked, next day nothing.
