Hey whats up guys I'm a noob to the forum and a noob to dsm....I'm crossing over from Honda so its SORT of similar.....I have a 97 gst with a front mount, 60-1 garrert,550 injectors,255 fuel pump,etc....so normally it takes a few cranks to get started due to the car needing a tune with the injectors and pump....either way the other night I went to start it and it cranked and then I stopped it(as usual because it takes a few cranks) and then there was nothing....no beeping....no lights on the dash when I turn the key over like the CEL or brake lights that normally flash for a few seconds when you put the key in, I don't think the fuel pumps turning on either.....now coming from Honda I'm used to relays going bad but I'm not sure if I blew a relay or the ecu......just lost and seeking help.....I'm not new to forums so I did research and I guess I have no ecu communication since the dash lights don't flash but I'm sure a few ppl have had to go through this so if you guys can help me I'd really appreciate it because its my only car

Can you turn your lights on? Does the car have any power?

Check all of your battery connections. I ran into a similar problem on a very cold night last year. Turns out I had some corrosion build up on my terminals. Cleaned them off and reconnected everything. She fired right up.

Start with the simple stuff first.
 
Well I have power to my headlights but when I turn the key the car dash doesn't even turn on....I don't think the fuel pump turns on either
