no power at all... AGAIN

Well yesterday I was driving and my radio and wipers quit working for a second. Then I got to school and when I went to leave I was driving and everything shut off: Engine lights wipers radio EVERYTHING. I've replaced fusible links last time this happened but last time i still had some power. Now everything is dead. What do you suggest??
Thanks

If your fusible links still passed power then they weren't blown. Get a multimeter if you don't have one. Measure resistance between all fuses, it should be under 1 ohm if its good, or infinite if its blown. Check resistance from negative battery terminal to ground of the chassis. Should be under a few ohms with a clean connection. Then check the voltage at the starter. Should have same as the battery. If the power didn't get that far then that's your problem. After that I'm not quite sure where the wire runs, but it comes in the cabin. Check power at every fuse and see if ANYTHING is getting power. Sounds like a fuse coming to the interior might have died (there must be one).
