Exclamation Shes dead!

Ok, I did the search, Hopefully good enough so dont yell at me! I couldnt find anyone with my exact problem

Here is the story...

Recently had my spark plugs changed, I let the car warm up and cool down for at least 5 minutes. I put the right gas in it... la la la I take good care of her.

The other evening, I get into it and go to start her... no cranking, no clicking just the lights came on, and the music played. I thought hmmm well maybe its the battery. So my BF met me and tryed to jump it, nothing..So to get around a $165 towing bill, I popped the clutch! Worked just fine, ran like a dream on the way to the stealership. No check engine light, clutch was fine, full power.. just fine!

Figuring it was the starter, I had one sent to me and they installed it last night.. I get all excited to get her back.. go in there this morning... STILL NOTHING... wont crank or click or anything!! Back to square one... I am getting tired of driving his 240!!

I have no clue what could be going on! PLEASE HELP ME!!!! She is an 04 6spd with about 76k miles on it!

1) Check your voltage on your battery with a multimeter to see if it even has adequate charge, battery might be kaput

2) Have your alternator checked at a local auto store like Autozone.

3) Dump the bf and pick me instead.
