Just like title says. Went to move my car, turned the key and after a click, the car died and all lights went out and it does not crank.
Checked the fuse box in the engine bay and all fuses look good. The only other thing that comes to my mind is the ASD relay (one of the two by the firewall on the drivers side). Need a little help here, thanks in advance and god bless.

Battery or terminals...

The car was running fine a minute before, I had just come back from the gas station, and it has a brand new battery and terminal connectors. LITERALLY, I had just changed the battery and terminals an hour before because the old battery was leaking.

Ditto.
Classic symptoms. Maybe double check that the cables haven't been broken somewhere or the connector tightened down but is still loose on the terminal. Plus don't discount the othere sides of the cables or the cables themselves.
