WI very weird no start problem

My car was running like normal until yesterday when I went to start it I noticed my gauge lights didn't come on and it wouldn't start. I checked and the fuel pump isn't turning on. My lock switch doesn't lock both doors now, tail lights don't work, gauges don't work at all. I checked my fuses they look good also the spark plugs aren't firing. Every thing else on the car works headlights, windows etc. What could be going on because it was fine the day before?

sounds to be a possible ground issue, or the CPU went out. i would first check the grounds and all relays and fuses, if that doesnt work next step would be the CPU.

Check the battery first. I've had a battery low enough where it couldn't start the car but could run all the lights/accessories.

One other strange thing, my diagnostic box doesn't seem to work either when I was trying to jump the fuel pump

I removed the 120a and it is actually broken. Does it have something to do with the fuel pump?
