The battery should have a minimum of 12.4V. If you have 12V with the key off it's probably down to 10 with the key on. But wait, are you measuring with a meter or looking at the dash gauge, which is useless.

 

Stephen,

First thing DIY to check is the state of the battery. Is it in the car? You don’t mention if you’re handy with a wrench in the garage. Do you have a multi meter to check the voltage independently?

Is there zero power to anything? Is the car 100percent dead? My guess would be bad battery cables. Take trunk floor panel out and see. Are the battery terminals clean and tight? Worth checking both ends of both cables and the body terminals. The positive cable goes to the High Power Protection junction box. This bolted connection can work loose.

Good luck.

 

Even a low battery would power something. Do you really mean nothing at all is powered?
