2000 auto will not start. HELP!!
I tried to start it, it turned about 1/2 a revolution, and everything died.
The last time I drove it was yesterday, about 150 miles. The only issue was puling into a store about a mile from home, gravel driveway and I got an ABS warning. My wife stayed in the car while I went in, so I didn't turn it off. I wasn't concerned about the ABS warning anyway, figured it would go away when I shut it off.
I guess I'm hoping just a relay blew, but IDK how to check them. Nothing is working: No lights, DIC, radio, windows... nothing. From the threads I've read before posting, it might be relay 42 or 50, and 50 is in the passenger footwell? I'd have to push it out of my garage to get to that, if needed.
64k miles, battery is 3 years old and strong. I have an Actron multi-meter, just not very familiar with using it.
TIA!

I didn't say this in the OP, but I hooked my jump pack up to it and still nothing.

If you're not familiar with electrical testing take your car to an automotive electrical shop.
