Default Car Lost Power

Hey guys I have been trying to look up info but I cant find it. I went to my friends house and turned the car off and now it wont start. No lights, no power. We checked the battery and it has power. Any thoughts?

Check your engine bay to see if any rodent nibbled away at the wires.

We switched batteries out of another car. Still nothing. Only lights we have are the LED overhead lights in the back. We had both key fobs and neither would start it. I mean unless it went into security mode. But we have no lights on the dash or the gauges when you open the doors. No brake lights when applying the brake. Its very strange.
