Default ABS, airbag lights and no spedo HELP!

My 99 5.9 durango developed these symptoms today, at the same time: abs and airbag light are on, no spedo or fan blower. Drove it across town and now it also won't turn over. No click like a bad starter, I turn the ignition and nothing. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I agree, either recharge the battery and test or replace the battery.

Thanks for the input...the cables are picky, but usually when I have trouble with them, the system shorts when I turn the key and I have to fiddle with them. Right now I have dash and radio lights and when I turn the key I lose the radio lights but keep everything else, and there is no draw on the battery and the volt reading on the dash gauge is adequate. I have cleaned the terminals w/ no difference. Would this maybe be a bad ignition switch or since the airbag and abs lights came on is there something in the system that would keep it from turning over?

did you have the battery load tested? a bad or weak battery will cause crazy issues
