A mechanic would first test the battery for a dead cell, then check each circuit on the car. We usually start with the big circuits such as lights and the alternator, and then go down the list.

your problem is a very big one. you gonna have to do alot of trouble shoot. check for gas pressure, check for spark ignition, make sure the vehicle is getting air. manually check the engine.

1997 Cadillac Catera battery is good fully charged but when I turn key on, I have no power at all.

This is the sort of problem where you need a mobile electrician with a pro grade $5,000 scan tool computer. Bound to be caused by electrics, modules, sensors etc.

My 1997 catera has A electrical problem my radio don't work gages go crazy its like something is draining my battery.

Check that all the ground wires(white) are clean and tight on the firewall under dash. Weak or no ground can cause feedback of power also making things go crazy. But ALWAYS check to have a good ground connection on both sides of the vehicle.

Not charging replaced altinator runs till battery discharges. 97 cadillace catera

Check the solenoid. That could cause the alternator not to pick up a charge. It could also be a faulty batter, but most likely it's the solenoid. Take it to a garage to get looked at to be sure!

My 2000 Catera drains the battery overnight and requires charging to start the next day. What is going on?

I had the same problem, it ended up being that the Body Control Module was water damaged due to a leak in the drainage hoses from the sunroof.

Have you tried turning the key in the ignition with the chip in it? Some cars work if you turn the key on and off a number of times, say 5-6 times, and most cars with auto locks will lock & unlock when things have been reset to let you know.
