Default 2002 Bonneville SSEi Electrical Problem

Hey Guys,
Anybody ever experienced this problem I'm having currently?
I parked my 2002 Bonneville in the garage two days ago and everything was normal. Now, I tried to crank it and I get no power at all with the switch turned on. No lights or clicks, or any movement in the guages at all. I first thought the battery was dead, but I charged it and still nothing. I unhooked the battery cables and cleaned the connections but still no indication of power in the car through the switch. Ant suggestions?
Thanks,
Robert.

Do the cluster lights turn on with key? No headlights? What does not have power? Everything?
Did you check fuses?

No, nothing is showing any power. I did check all fuses and they are all good. I didnt check the relays, I dont have the tools for that.
Battery is fine, but nothing showing any power. You think the switch is bad?

How did you test the battery? What is the voltage of the battery?

The battery is just a year old, and I bought a 1000amp compact charger that is fully charged. It will not do anything with the charger on it.The battery is not the problem, but I havent gotten to the switch to see if the voltage is going through it yet. The power is under the hood at the fuse box.??

You do or don't? Maybe a rodent got to the wiring.

No, There is power to the under hood positive pole. The ?? meant what'* up.. Like I said, I haven't gotten to the switch under the dash to check the power there.

I'm confused? I thought all the power/fuse/relays were under the back seat on 2000+Bonnevilles? If so, 2000+Bonnevilles are known for electrical issues in this area because of poor water drainage.

No, there is a fuse box under the back seat, and a fuse box under the hood. I have checked all fuses in both boxes and they're all good. I haven't checked the relays in the boxes , I don't have the tool for relays..

Thumbs up

By the way, I had a 1983 *-15 built with a 365 HP 350V8 Positive traction 342 Rear End and a Built 700-R4 for street and Track with Overdrive. Gave it to my son, and it'* rotting in a storage unit somewhere.
Thanks for any suggestions on the Bonnie.
Robert
