Welcome to 2CarPros.

Julie, when you say there is no power at all, do you mean not even the lights or any electrical component works?

If nothing at all works and you are sure the battery is charged, I need you to check the main fuse in the power distribution box under the hood. I attached a picture and highlighted the fuse I'm questioning. It is a 120 amp fuse.

Here are a few links to help with the fuse:

Let me know if this helps and what you find. If you have other questions, feel free to ask. Also, when you are working under the hood, make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. Take a look through this link:

Take care,
