Sounds like a dead battery. Is anything working at all? You state that you had it running before, how long ago was that?

Definitely sounds like a bad battery or your terminal connectors have gone bad. Make sure the wires aren't stripped out of the connectors if a new battery doesn't fix the issue.

i had it running last winter no prob,terminal connectors where changed with new ones, and also the battery is a newer battery i even had it charged , also i dont think wires are stripped out of the connectors, it had the wing nut style bolt on type... so there is not strip age .. so im kinda wondering if the battery might have something to do with this, im not sure it isnt new its like new.

Can you try jumping it from another car? If it gets power immediately that's a sign of at least a drained battery. If it can start and run without the cables attached that would also point to a drained/dead battery.

The ground wire for the fusebox? Or maybe the power wire. Either way, not having that connected would definitely cause some issues. Good find.
