When I talked to you thought you said the main switch was off ? It needs to be on

Check the double pole breaker(s) in your main panel for the house.
One might be slightly centered indicating it being tripped. Reset it by swinging it all the way off then to on (clicking into place) .
If no breakers are tripped, call your service provider & await for them to conduct there testing/work..
ACV 200, main power on, black lead to ground bar, red lead to one fuse, then the other, both readings should be ~120v, if one is a lot lower, or 0, then its likely the power company's issue(loose connection at the weatherhead to your house, or at the pole)

It appears this was a DTE problem that was unknown to me.
I still don't know what had happened. All I know is that before
I called DTE this morning, I checked & EVERYTHING is now working!
Ha no shit, I told you they was listening! No no it was all a dream!
Just FYI, I think you need to make sure power is off when checking resistance/continuity across the fuse, or pull them out of the loop and check.
If they're installed you'll be getting a jacked up reading of the whole circuit.
What I'd say to do now if you have power is get out your shop vac and get those friends of yours out of there.
Plastic extension on the vacuum cleaner and don't touch anything inside the box.
