Default 94 2.3 has power, clicks, then no power no start

So my 94 is not a daily driver, just a hoopty i use from time to time. The other day i drove it, stopped at a store, came out and it didnt start. I put the key in the ignition, turn it over and it clicks a couple times and almost sounds like a dead battery, then there is no power at all...ie lights, dash warning indicators, nothing. I take the key out of the ignition, push in the door dome light switch thing in the jamb, put the key back in and try to start it, then the same thing. I bypassed the neutral safety switch, I have replaced all ignition parts 6 months ago, battery, injectors, all at the same time. solenoid seems fine...what to do?

Take it to an auto parts place.....most of the stores I've seen do free electrical testing on batteries and alternators.

Sounds to me like a battery or alternator issue...
U said the battery is 6 months old but that doesn't matter...I've seen cheap batteries go bad in a week.

Or your alternator Went bad and isn't charging the battery back up and you've been running off the battery and now the battery is dead
