98 limited wont start!

Whats up brothers! Well my 98 limited is just completely dead. I drove home from work yesterday and parked it and when I hopped back in to head to the grocerie store it wont start! I have power to the dash and radio and headlight. There is no guage lights for the speedo fuel and temp, and the ac/heater fan wont blow with key in the on position. My 4runner within the last two months has had the battery, starter, alternator replaced and I just had the the timing belt water pump valve cover gaskets replaced! I I checked the fuses and they are good to go. I bought another starter relay yesterday thinking that may be it but still nothing? So any thoughts on where to look next is appreciated. I read on another forum that it might be the 100A ignition fuse, I will hopefully get to look at when I get off tonight. This happens right before me and the family were going camping for a week! Stay safe! Russ

Start checking fuses both under the hood and in the cab, ground wires, battery charge (yes, new but could be dead or dying), security system if it has a starter cut-off function.

Time to break out the volt meter and start testing....

BTW, there are some sisters around here too.
