I own an ek hatch with a fresh b20/ITR swap. I never had any CEL codes and the car has driven almost 200 miles without any problems...until now

This morning when I tried to start the car I noticed nothing related to the ignition was working. The car doesnt crank at all, no dash lights go on, no radio,etc..no power to any of that at all. However the interior dome light and headlights work fine. I pulled the plastic off the steering column and all the wires appear to be in good shape.
Can someone PLEASE trouble shoot this for me...any advice on what to check and the order would be greatly appreciated.

I found out the problem....

1. the starter fuse under the dash was blown
2. The main ignition fuse in the engine bay was blown

I was able to get the car running and driving again, now i need to figure out what could have cause the fuses to blow. Any ideas??

Thanks for the update on the problem. Since it's a swap, I would double check any place the wiring could have been chafed or pinched enough to cause a short.
