start with the basics, check the battery, clean the terminals and put leads back on then see if power anywhere.

Did you check the fusible links? Particularly the main one (FJ).

Maybe alternator is bad and it ran the battery totally flat?
Could have a bad ignition/key barrel or something on that end, broken internally or a wire.
Broken main wires (positive/ground) like the big thick wires to the battery and body.

Just a few ideas

Okay i still haven't got the car running I've taken it to a shop & they tried to scan it even tried 3 different Scan device's but none of them connected with the car at all, I've got another BCM but i couldn't get the ECU to go with it
Talking to a guy to see if he can tech 2 it to link them together he said that i am wasting my time it won't be that but he doesn't know what it would be & can't look at it until middle of next week & probably needs it for 3 days at a $100 plus GST an hour wtf
