Sounds like a main fuse has blown. Might be an inline type, a pin type or a fuse link. Usually near the positive post on the battery or under hood
fuse box.

did you try and jump start your car?? if so you might have done it wrong and blown a fuse.. under hood fuse box most likely one of the bigger looking fuses look at them and check with test light

SOURCE: 1994 Toyota Tercel Starter Problems

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

SOURCE: no electrical power after replacing battery

I've had similar problems with my cars, and everytime it was a bad ground or power wire, or corrosion on the terminals. Get a wire brush and clean both battery connecters..even a little corrosion can cause a no power situation. If you have a test light, connect the ground of the test light to the negative cable of the battery and touch light to the positive cable...if the test light doesn't light up, then you have a break or lose connection in your ground wire. Trace the battery ground to the engine block and clean that also...the smallest thing can interupt power...hope this helps..

SOURCE: put in a new starter and car won't start.

Try putting the car in the "on" or "ACC" position for 10 to 15 minutes then turn car off, then turn car on. Doing this some how resets the security on the car. I had this problem today and someone on here told me to do that and it worked.

probably a fuse, unless its an aftermarket radio that lost complete memory mode, and need to be re coded to work. the easiest way to check this is to look for the power wire, on your car its a blue wire with a yellow stripe for the battery one, and a gray wire for the ignition one that supply the radio with 12 volts, see if they have power,

This is a long shot: disconnect the Postive terminal on the battery. OPEN the drivers door, LEAVE IT OPEN and connect the battery. try to start the car. On some alarms the system will reset this way.

Turned ignition on, heard a loud pop and everything went off. tried ignition again, got nothing, no battery turn over, nothing.

Start by checking the fuses and then the battery connections, this sounds like a fuse poped maybe a main fuse, if its a fuse then replace the fuse if it pops again then theres a dead short somewhere, these are famous for bad starters and starter relays going bad, so see when fuse pops again if its when key is turned on or when you try to crank the motor, if its when cranking then its mostlikely the relay or starter, this main fuses would be in the engine compartment fuses box.
