Check the battery. Check the main fusible link. You may have a defective ignition switch. Do the headlights and taillights work? Does the engine turn over? Do the brake lights work?

I think it may be the ignition switch. I have attached the schematic to help you check it. I have also attached an image of the main relay box showing the 3 main circuit breakers. One of those may be blown.
