Drove home the other night everything ran fine, turned car off and went inside. Came out next day to drive and nothing, no electrical nothing. Battery is fully charged. So I changed out the starter, positive and negative wires, ignition switch and key switch, still nothing except for a hum through the speakers when the battery is hooked up, if I turn the ignition key to on the hum stops, also will change pitch if I try to turn on the headlights. Other than the hum nothing electrical.

if the battery is properly charged then this is an odd issue.

We need to make sure you load tested the battery and not just check it with a meter.

If so then we need to find out if the night that you shut it off, was there a thunderstorm that night? This sounds like it was struck by lightening.

Can you check the antenna mast and tip for any burn marks?

Next we need to check for codes and see if we have anything there as well.

let's start with this info and go from there. Thanks
