1994 Astro van diagnosis/repair

I have a 1994 Chevrolet Astro van AWD . I drove it last night I had to leave again so I started the van but when I hit the headlight switch the van died now, the van won't start the exterior lights don't work and my stereo and power door locks don't work . The inside lights,tv, and power windows still work what would cause this? and how do I fix it?

Sounds like the battery is dead. You will have to first manually recharge the battery and then test the battery itself and the charging system.
