Car won't start.. battery is fine, gauges don't move

Recently, my gauges have been acting up. THey would 'flutter' every now and then, but it never effected anything.

Now the other night, once i pulled in my drive way, i let me car idle for a little wihle, and it just died and would not start.

My battery still puts out 12.4 volts
When i turn they key to 'on' my cd player works, fans kick on, but the gauges don't move to show any battery juice.

I CHECKED ALL MY FUSES

the car doesn't even crank. Doesn't do anything

Any ideas what it could be? Maybe a bad connection somewhere from corroded wires(hopefully)... does this sound like a computer issue?

Thanks for your time

Jason

Ignition switch on the column, happened to me car died on the freeway. Headlights and radio worked but NOTHING else. Check the ignition switch R&R on shoebox's website, helped me a ton. www.shbox.com
