Need Help - Car Wont Start

the other day my car just died out of nowhere and it wouldnt start again. When I turn the key I get nothing at all. The weird thing is that the headlights and interior lights work but the windows,locks,or cd player doesnt work. Could there be something with the ignition switch thats messed up? I already checked the fusible links and they all seem good.

There is a fuse up along the inner fender on the passenger side near the front fascia, it si sealed, and doesn't look like a fuse. If this fuse was to blow, this would cause similar problems... One thing to look at anyway.

Can you be more specific. I think I may have found the fuse you were tlaking about but im not sure. If it is the one youre talking about then its not blown.

Dang, I use to have a pic of it. It is bolted right to the inner fender on the Passenger side near the front of the car. It is has 2 orange wires going to it if I remember correctly. Does this sound like the one your looking at?? If this fuse is OK you may have an ignition problem, but one other thing to look at. There are in-line fuses in the power wire to the starter, sometime these can corrode and cause a similar problem... So I take it the car will not turn over obviously right???

Yeah that sounds like the one. I think I found the problem, I didnt look through the fusible links good enough and I lightly pulled on one and it broke and it looked like it had burned. So Ill replace that tomorrow and hopefully itll start working.
