How did you check the fuses?

Check the batt. connections, [cable clamps] remove. clean both post and clamp and reconnect.
If still no power, check batt. to chassis and chassis to engine grounds, same way. disconnect, clean and reconnect. 94

First of whats the year make and model of car?

You were given the best advice already: Take a METER and check for voltage and continuity on BOTH sides of the fuse.

good luck

both side of which fuse? its a 2000 civic si I did find this out. I checked for voltage at all the fuses in the under hood panel (all good) I checked all the fuses on the under dash fuse box (all good) I checked the ground at the battery, the one that attached to the thermostat housing and all are good. I am stumped. I cant believe with all the knowledge on HT no one has any clue. I have power to everything it seems but the car is completely dead. The hazards which run directly off the battery dont even work. The relay under the dash buzzes but thats it. Someone has to have experienced this before.
