Nice title of your post - very descriptive - NOT !!!

Sounds like you don't have much electrical troubleshooting experience, or you would've mentioned what you did trying to track down with a DC test light or digital multimeter. Likely "mega fuse" is a fusible link. Anyway, one starts at the battery with such diagnostic tools mentioned, and find where the voltage is not passing through. So best to get a 2005 wiring diagram.

You dont have to be an a#! Hole about things . no i dont have a clue when it comes to electrical on cars. I dont have testers or any of that crap , i posted this in hopes some one has had the same problem not to fish for jerks. A mega fuse as some will call it is the 175A fuse , you know since you know it all , that fuse that has two terminals and in between them is a square fuse. I need to know where that is located to check it.

its not that you dont know anything but the lack of information then how quickly you took offence to the criticism.

Yes.
"2005 Suburban won't crank" would have been a better title.
When you open the hood, the fuse box stares you in the face.
Owner's manuals, if you don't have yours, are extremely easy to find on the web.
