Go to turn the key nothing happens, no light no nothing. Hook it up to jumper cables and it starts right up and runs and drives fine. Not sure where to start. Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon,

You need to charge the battery until it is fully charged.

Then you need to check the charging system to be sure the alternator is working.
