i had for a while power problems but could always start the car ,but for some reason for the last 2 weeks i had to put a charger on the battery to start the car .
and now it is totally dead ,charge the battery and checked the starter and the alternator before it totally died.
i am now clue less to where to go from here , i checked all the fuses in front and behind the passengers compartmented under the steering wheel.
no blown fuse.
so when i turn the key the car doesn't show no power at all ,even the light at the key slot has no light ,so totally dead.
if battery is charge its a good 13 volt took the starter out and bench tested it works great,
when still starting a week before it got completely dead i checked the voltage from the alternator to the battery and it gave 14 volts while running.
so what can i do more to find out if it is a ground fault ,how do i test that
asking for help for some directions i also both a relay tester and found no bad relay or sticking one

You are getting absolutely no power? When you open the door interior lights do not go on and you can't turn the headlights on? (without key in ignition)

Whole can of worms... Bad grounds (earths)? Parasitic draw? loose wire? How to explain the many test procedures? What test equipment is needed? Nothing but questions.
