You are doing electrical work on your own car without knowing how to check fuses or do basic electrical troubleshooting?
Scary.
Take a test light or volt meter and ground the negative side and then use the positive probe to poke the little metal part on each side of the top of each fuse. If you find one where one side shows voltage and the other doesn't then you found a bad fuse.
Make sure you check all the fuse boxes. The AW11 has three of them, not sure about other cars but probably at least two.
If the fuses are good then you need to troubleshoot circuits.
You will want the FSM with wiring diagrams. Find where you have power and where you don't.
If the car cranks but doesn't start I would look into the EFI circuit.
If the car doesn't crank then I would look at the fusible link and all the large fuses in the boxes. If none of them then you need to start chasing circuits and figure out where the power stops flowing.

WTF?
Don't blame me for suggesting you check things you never mentioned you checked.
On top of that if you already did the last four lines of my last post you wouldn't be posting here.
You need to find where the power stops.
You can start at the battery and start chasing towards the ignition and starter to find out where the break in the circuit is or you can go from the other end and chase back to the battery.
You can also try including more information in your posts.
Do the dash lights come on when you turn the ignition on?
Do you have power anywhere?
Do you have power but the car doesn't crank?
Does it crank but just doesn't fire?
Without details anyone will be shooting in the dark.
