    ground or battery cables perhaps

    I'm not so sure about your ignition, because you told us your car had no power to the windows as well... so it's probably a fuse, wire, battery...

    Main fuse or ground is my bet too. clean your battery post,check it again,check the main 70amp fuse in you fuse box under the hood,try hooking jumper cables to neg on battery then to block some where, check again. post back

    Can you turn anything on? horn, lights,wipers?

    the lights, horn, and hazards work but that's it. the lights on the dash nothing don't turn on and the engine wont even turn over i thinks its a ground but finding the ground is the problem..

    I think it's NOT a ground because you have too many circuits that aren't working. All of those circuits are not on one single ground. If the fuses under the hood are ok then I would look at the ignition switch. See if you can take the covers off the steering column and get a good look at the switch.
