Check the inertia switch in the trunk. If it got tripped, it cut off power to the fuel pump. Also, make sure it has gas in it (I've had customers not think of putting gas in their car before)

Do you have an alarm system? If you do disconnect it and try to start the car. It happened to me twice until i got a new alarm.

I store my 1994 Lincoln Town Car Hearse over the winter months, usually try to start once a month. Only has 78k and starts very easily, I missed a month and battery was dead. I put it on a slow charge all day and battery is good but when I go to start all the dash lights up as expected but as soon as you turn the key to start the dash goes black. No clicking of relay or starter. I checked ignition fuses and neutral safety switch was replaced last summer. Thoughts, Rick
