Turn key in ignition and nothing happens. Completely dead. Tried having jumped. Battery had spark once but did not help. Nothing comes on, lights etc. No click. Just silence.

If you are sure the battery is good, have you confirmed that the battery terminals are clean and tight as well as the main ground to the engine and body?

That was the issue. Had to tighten the connections and clean the terminals.
Thanks!
