I have no power at all, can't even open the trunk. There's no click when I turn the key. No dome lights, no radio etc. Pulled the fuses, they look fine. I keep getting burned out bulbs in rear brake lights. This has happened before, but started up eventually and hasn't happened again until now (6 mo later). I let the car sit over night, still no start/no power. What do you think it is?

you may have a bad connection somewhere, such as a cut or frayed battery cable.

also check for corrosion on battery and terminals.

and do you have a brand new battery?
