Default DEAD CAR

Hello and before I go crazy, I wanted to ask the experts here! I have a 2003 Honda Accord Coupe which I bought new and have kept in cherry condition. The car just broke 38K. Well today I took her out to do some errands (14 miles worth round trip) and I parked her in the street. A few mintes later I went back to start her up and she is completley dead, NO power, radio, door locks, windows.....when I turn the key no sound.....like if the tooth fairy stole the battery......................................the battery has no build up or anything like that.............I am open to suggestions or is this common for this car as I have never owned one before 2003. I have never had a single issue with this car!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you all in advance!

first make sure that all your cables are good/clean/tight (including the ground cable) then check the main fuse (the big ol bugger) in the under hood fuse box... also, test to make sure that your battery is charged...

Also, try wiggling the key to see if your ignition switch has any issues...

either ignition or battery... as nasty said, check the ground cable (black one connected to the chassis). if it's te ignition, then go under the stirring wheel and check the purple or red cable (can't remember which one, i think the red one) (please add asignature w/ your car's info)

use a tester to check for 12V power. you can start from the battery and go up to the ignition switch (your gonna have a blast! - sarcasm)
Good luck man, just keep us posted if you got the car to turn on...
