No power (electrical)

I have a 10th anniversary with about 55k miles or so. Up until now I've never had any problems with the car at all. Recently, I got in the car, turned the key, heard a 'click' and now there's no power. None of the fuses are blown and the battery still has life. I'm not sure where to even start looking. Any ideas?

check the starter wires and the main engine ground wire. The ground is located on the drivers side transmission bell housing.

i was thinking maybe either bad ground wires, or bad starter... to check the grounds just find them, scrub the surface and wire with a wire brush for a clean connection, then replace the bolts... simple and easy

what makes you think "the battery has life"?

Do the headlights work,... does the Horn???

Have you checked and cleaned the battery clamps and battery posts???
