Check your fuses, like Davin said... Also, check your grounds.

Where are you in PA?

in that case, it's probably going to be something painfully stupid. Did you check your grounds? Start with the negative battery cable. Make sure the connection to the terminal is secure and that the wire isn't torn, then follow the ground all the way to the chasis.
