You have a dead battery or the main relay isn't getting the juice that it needs. But seeing as how the engine won't turn over and shit dies when you ask other shit to turn on, Ima say dead battery

you were correct it was the battery, i didn't think about it because it's only about a month old. Now to find out why it's dead

I'd check the voltage of the battery. It could be the battery terminals not making a good connection.

Definately could be corrosion or a bad ground, usually is. Hook up an Ammetter and make sure the A's are about .25. If it's higher start pulling fuses till you find the closed circuit.

Or it could be a bad alternator. Girl came into work one day and while we were all on our 3 o'clock coffee break she told me that about 1/2 way to work, every time she hit the brakes, the radio would go out.... I thought about this for a second and told her that the alternator died. Everyone laughed. 2 days later she came back to work becuase the car died on the way home and sure as shit it was the alternator. My diagnostic skills were legandary after that point
