Batterys up Car is comletely dead
Could be a bad connection on one of the battery cables, or you may have cooked a fuseable link.
There are 3 or 4 fuseable link wires coming off the large terminal on the starter that powers the key switch and fuse box.
I would check the starter to see if it has voltage first.

Most likely you have a parasitic draw. Unhook one of the battery terminals and put a test light between the cable and the terminal. If it lights, pull fuses until it goes out. the fuse that turns it out is the circuit that has the draw. Find what is staying on and repair it.

The door jab switch in the doors are the more likely problem,there are two,but the driver side is most likely the problem.

IF THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED, 12.60 VOLTS & THE CABLES ARE CLEAN & TIGHT, THERE ARE FUSIBLE LINKS AT THE STARTER THAT SUPPLY POWER TO EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE FASTENED ON THE SAME LARGE TERMINAL AS THE MAIN BATTERY CABLE ON THE STARTER. THE FUSIBLE LINKS ARE SPECIAL WIRES DESIGNED TO BURN INTO IF A SHORT CIRCUIT HAPPENS. THE BIG BLACK THING THERE IS NOT A FUSE, IT IS JUST A CONNECTOR. TO FASTEN THE MAIN WIRE TO THE FUSIBLE LINK WIRE. IF YOU PULL ON THE FUSIBLE LINK IT WILL STRETCH LIKE STIFF RUBBER. IF IT STRETCHES IT WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. IF IT DOESN'T STRETCH IT IS PROBABLY OK & IT MAY BE A BAD CABLE.
I would start with checking grounds.
