Any suggestions
What lights come on? Only dash lights coming on or dash lights and headlights coming on would mean a lot to people thousands of miles away from you who could help IF and only IF you describe more details.
Really? "Nothing"? You don't hear, see, feel anything?
Got a multi-meter?
See my signature?

Yes. A problem well-stated is a problem almost solved.

Welcome to the forum. We're happy to help.
If you plan to work on your vehicle yourself, I strongly suggest you spend $6 and get your own multi-meter, like this.
Keep it in the vehicle at all times.
Again, as my signature suggests, did you check all your connections to battery? All connections, not just the cliched "check grounds".
Had your battery tested? But before you take it to a shop (not sure if that is an honest and competent shop), do your own simple test:
When you get your multi-meter, probe positive battery post itself with everything off. How much voltage do you get?
Now turn headlights to highbeam. Got halogens, correct? What voltage do you get exactly at positive battery post? Probe the battery terminal connector itself, not the battery post. What voltage do you get? Yes, separately probing the battery post itself and the terminal connector itself will help tell us something.
Keep us posted.

All dash lights came on, head lights came on, radio came on but when I try to crank it nothing. No clicking or anything. Didn't hear, see or feel anything. I do not have a multi-meter, A friend of mine does and he is supposed to come look at it tomorrow.
