Oops, I didn't get "nothing on the dash". Hmmm... Headlights, etc? Interior dome light? Wondering if it's electrical involving dash and starter, or ALL the electrical. You say "battery has charge", but does it have a full enough charge. I've been tricked by low voltage on the battery appearing to be ok. Also, does it make any noise at all, maybe one little click or absolutely no noise when trying to start?
