The batt term are tight and on correct. I checked the grounds and they are good. It just weird b/c I dont even get a dash light or anything. Even if I hook the jump box or another car to it I get no lights

that is weird. on your fuse box to the left of the battery the red cable should be going into that. pull off the tab where it goes in and what do you see?

I know that. It is actually already off. I pulled it yesterday. It is just late that is why I said tomorrow. But the power wire is connected to the sol. and the other wires there are all still connected. So what is it that you want me to see?

But I found the Problem. So i again connected the jump box to see what was up. Then I figured I would see what would happen if I connect the red side of the jump box to the sol. were the cable comes from the battery. Bam Power. So the wire running from terminal to sol. is BAD.
Thanks For eveyones help.

Do you have aftermarket terminals? I mean the ones that connect to the battery, I did and from wheeling, knocked the neg. ground out of the bolts that it gets sandwiched under. Check those to make sure there's no loose connections. Then I would clean the terminals up (which I'm sure you did)
Also look for any short-to-grounds.
