Default 99 silverado won't start

driving home and it just died with out any warnings at all. New battery, new starter, checked all fuses. Ignition module and coil both tested good. Not getting any power what so ever. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the check engine light on? Did you check the ground wire at the battery? Did you clean the battery terminals? Did you check the battery positive wire?

No the check engine light is not on. everything with the battery has been checked and clean. When the key is turned on nothing happens. No clicking, no lights. The door doesn't even ding when opened.

Did you check to see if the ignition switch is turning on the power?

Thanks for your help everyone. We've been told to try and change the ignition switch by another person. Is there a way to check to see if there is power coming from the ignition switch?

you might check the IGN 40amp fuse and the starter relay which both are in the underhood fuse/relay center. I think there is a crank 10amp fuse which is on the left side of the dash. good luck

You can also check the starter solenoid wire to see if it gets 12 volts with the key turned to start. With all the fuses being good there should be power there with the key at start.
