Have a 99 crv. turn key over and vehicle is totally dead. checked battery, it is ok. thought a fuse may have gone bad but the fuse cover has mysteriously disappeared. any thoughts?

Link? Yes, clicking the wrong link on the internet will do that. ........ Check your fuses

You may have a shorted wire(s) off the ignition switch. Check the wiring off the switch, and cover any bare or exposed wires.

check battery and if it is Ok, then check fuses.

electrical power?
Will it start with a jump?

had the same problem on a 99 buick regal no power going to starter silinoid and dash lights went out when key is put in start position.turns out it was the ignition switch.95.00 at auto zone

take keys out of car with you and lock all doors, then unlock door with the key and retry cranking vehicle

could be the fuse to the crank or maby a dead cell in the battery or simply needs a new battery ..corroded wires to the battery , ignition switch gone bad ,
but check your crank fuse 1st and then your battery connections ...do you have lights and power to anything else on the vehicle ...if so it may just need a jump if you have already tried that then i hope you have looked at the fuses for one that may have shorted out ...

yes it is the battery,was it a little cold out this mornin??? cold weather usually exsposes the bad batteries in vehicles,and sometimes there is no warning but your battery is old and should be replaced,hope this helps

Try checking relays in the fuse box under the hood. If all checks out ok, check timing belt/chain.

check the fuse box in side engine compartment near battery one of the fusesmight of blown i had troubles with my jeep kinda like that it was just a fuse n the jeep ran again
