Default civic wont start

hi,

My car has been running fine and was starting with no issues till today.

#1 the starter doesnt crank
#2 the fuel pump doesnt prime gaz when the key is on
#3 normally, when you put the key at on, the check engine light comes up for 3-4 seconds but not anymore

I did change the main relay with one of my spares and still there...

any help?
