OK, well at night i replaced the retractor 30A fuse for the headlights. And in the morning i took it out for the daily spin, and my battery died. So I was getting out of the car, speed racer style,(out the driver window) and i leaned on the door and BOOM! It crashed to the floor. EUREKA!! SUCCESS!!! The door had finally come off after a whole days work. So i unbuttoned the door panel and took off the harness, and removed the door completely. During this whole time the battery was at auto zone getting charged. And it started pouring down raining, and i had no battery to close the sunroof, or start the car. OR anyone to assist me in pushing the car up a steep inclined driveway. Being as the car is a top terminal , and i only have am extra side terminal battery lying around. So I hooked the battery to the terminals by means of jumper cables, out of desperation to save the inside of the car from the rain, and hooked it up and tried to crank it......nothing, i went to check my connection and it sparked and the battery fell settling on the bottom of the battery compartment. So i took it all off and it stopped raining. And my bro. arrives with the battery freshly charged. So we throw it in and crank, and nothing, not a whirl, spin, just the dinging of the door ajar. no lights on the dash either. But the gauges and headlights turn on and it started to smell like smoke in the car and thats where we stand. I checked all the fuses and there all good, but some under the dash don't light up when I attach a lamp to them, but when i pull them out there not popped. SO I'm pretty screwed if anyone has any info lemme know ASAP so i can get going again. Thanks!

do you have a volt meter? because autozone is not effective in charging batteries. but if you do put one lead to the positive and the other to the negative make sure its in volts DC and it should be roughly 12.6 if not you have a bad battery. if its good check relays next. its doesn't turn over at all right?

I just used a funnel in the gas tank to see if I can hear the Fuel pump working it it wasn't. Another tip to help diagnose the problem

Did you check the main fuse in the eng compartment?
Youll need a socket to take it out 10mm or a 8mm. The main fuse sends power to the ign switch then the fuse box under the dash.

I used a Fuse checker and it said it was good but when I pulled it. It was fried. I just replace it and she runs fine. Now, my dad drove her around the block and above 5-10 miles an hour she makes a clunking noise. My dad believes that the drive shaft wasn't properly connected when the transmission work was done.( by the previous owner not me)
