4 Runner Power Problem

Hi, please help me save my relationship. It's a 1990 4runner V6

The problem is that when I turn the key I get nothing, no engine lights, no radio etc. The hazards and interior lights do work just nothing from the key.

I checked the fuses and I *think* they look fine. The am1 and am2 fuses seem good. I am not sure what the gen 80amp fuse should look like so I am not sure if that is the problem, I researched the part on line and it doesn't look like they do, it seems like to pieces of wire crossed over, they touch but it looks like they only just touch. When I turn the key I do hear some clicks.

I haven't been able to try jump starting as the car is stuck in the garage and I can't see how to get it out.

Here is what happened.

I was replacing brake pads on my g/f's 1990 V6 4 Runner.


I mistakenly took off the front right outer caliper, brake fluid came out, I fixed that, reattaching it, replaced the pads and then bought some brake fluid, filled it to the level, depressed the brake pedal a few times, realized I needed to have power to make it work, turned the ignition on, pressed the brake a bunch of times, turned the engine on, pressed the brake a bunch of times. I may have turned the engine on and off a few times because I wanted to make sure the caliper was secure. Everything looked fine, no leaks etc, got the wheel back on. So I was about about to move the car when I realized I had left the blocks on the rear, turned the engine off, moved the blocks, got back in, turned the key and then nothing.

I think this thread borders on spam. Never mind, someone fixed it.

how about this:
describe EVERYTHING you did with the brakes... and then, as for jump starting the truck- is the driveway 'uphill' from the garage?
