Check the wire that runs from the batt to the fuse box under the hood, is it corroded or breaking? Look around that area to see if any wires are going.

So did your battery go dead on you trying to start it? At first you said you had a door buzzer and lights working with no start. Now you say no power at all. If that is the case charge your battery up then start over checking things out. When you turn the key to start the rig does it just click? I am starting to guess you have a crapped out starter. I would get a test light if you dont already have one. After the battery is charged up test the +post where the cable enters in, then move down to the starter where the +cable connects. If you have power at those two spots double check your ground. A way to try testing the starter without taking it out of the rig is to tap on the solinoid that is a small round cylinder mouted to the side of the starter. By tapping on it you are attempting to free it up inside where the solinoid may have seized up. I think that is why we tap on them in attempt to check it. Otherwise take it out and run it down to a parts store and have it bench tested. There are ways to bench test it yourself but I do not want to explain. Feel free anyone with a simple instructions. Hope this helps you.

It sounds like a bad or corroded connection somewhere. Really sounds like what happens if you have dirty battery cables.

Off the batt pos post there is usually a blue colored fusible link. pull gently on this....if it feels like it streaches, it is bad. From this fusible link there is a thick white wire that runs to the underhood relay/fuse box. Check it's connection.

Do you have a test light yet? If so, see if you have power at that relay/fuse panel.
