Last Saturday ran great. This Saturday no lights no turn over , nothing. Battery is good, even tried lights with battery charger. Checked for broken wires. Any hints ?

Usually when this happens the 20 amp circuit breaker is blown. In a plastic pouch up from the battery. Check that you have power on each side of the red wire. If not,slice the pouch open and replace the breaker. Any auto supply has them for a few bucks. Item #2 in the parts break down plus here's a good one versus a couple corroded ones.
