car wont start.. help!!!!!

the fuel pump is running. the weird thing is that the car ran all day yesterday and all day today , i was showing my friends zach.(fbII) that i installed the cd player in the glove box, and i was showing him that the only way the cd player turns on is if i flip the switch that usually pops up the headlights, ( that now dont work the headlights at all, but work the driving ligths, and the interior lights??? soooo the car is on... and i turn it off ...and he told me that he tapped into his clock and i was like hmm i should try that ... then i tried to turn it back on and nothing , what the heck both zach (fbII) and i are stumped. all fuses are good. but i cant tell how to see if the fusible links are blown.... and can it be the starter, i dont know how the starter could just go like without warning.....

thanks to all help
sorry i had to make this its own thread

the way you can tell the fuseable links are blown is if they feel like powder...this is what i was told, and it was true, just feel the lil wires...and if you feel the wire inside of the casing...then they are not blown...if you do not feel them..then they have been blown...i just jumped mine with speaker wire after mine blew...just for a temporary thing.

Your asking for big trouble by doing that without diagnosing the reason it blew in the first place.
