No crank, no start

The car will not start. I have power (radio, A/C all power functions work). The car started twice and died at idle. Now no crank even with a jump form another car. Just a click from the trunk fuse box. I replaced the key fob battery and pulled engine codes, but nothing is telling me what my issue could be.

Try resetting security system if the light is flashing. replacing battery causes security to lock on.
