If everything goes completely dead then it's a battery and or battery cable problem. Time to run drop tests and battery load capabilities. Usually it's bad cables.
If you turn the key , all lights come on and you hear rapid clicking, it's the battery or bad cables or connections. If you hear a click or thud and nothing else and the lights go out, it's a bad starter/solenoid. If nothing happens, not even lights, the battery is completely dead and producing ZERO electricity... Six dead cells.
Check your battery cable connections at both ends. Make sure everything is clean and tight. Load test the battery. If it fails then replace it. Hope that helps! Jim
