Default cherokee sport wont start

Braught the battery to advanced, they said the battery was fine, right where the voltage should be,
Said it could be a possible fuse, if so what fuse?
Nothing works as jn locks, lights, radio which is why I started with the battery,
Any suggestions much appreciated

Well it could be a fuse or two in passenger side fuse box, or the one under the hood or it could be a bad relay...
Also, does it crank or anything when you try to turn it over?

If you have absolutely zero power I would still suspect the battery. I don't think there is one fuse that will cut everything off like that. Do you have another car you could borrow a battery from just to see if you can get some power? Or maybe a battery charger/jumper box you could hook up directly to the leads.

i would check all the fuses you can. by your feet and under the hood, just in case. maybe move the terminals around on the battery...mine did this to me the other day and it was just because of dirty battery terminals. or like someone else said, try hooking up some jumper cables to someone elses car
