My battery is fully charged all lights are working radio is playing and door chiming, but when I turn the key absolutely nothing happens. It done this two days ago and even though the battery was charged a guy offered me a jump so I took it and the truck fired right up, but this morning I tried a jump and still nothing. Any ideas where to start looking?

Do the dash lights go out when you turn the key, If so then have the battery load tested, With a bad cell in the battery all lights and radio will work,( only a small draw on the battery) but when a heavy draw as in starter the battery will fail.

SOURCE: nissan sentra 1996 wont start but lights and radio are running

I had the same similar situation not to long ago....I thought it was the starter so i took the starter completely out and had it tested which i found out later i could have it tested while it was still in the vehicle...;) Anyways it said my starter was good...My car radio, lights, and everything electrical came up fine...but when i tried to crank my car nothing would happen...no noise whats so ever...I found out that there is a button behind the clutch pedal....you gotta kinda lay down where you put your feet and look up there is a button that suppose to push in when you push the clutch in and it engages some kinda of saftey switch to ensure the the vehicle is not in gear....it cranks up perfect after that i just glued some plastic piece on it to make sure the button is being pushed when i put in the clutch......PS Of course this will only be the issue for Manual Transmission

I would bet money you have a loose connection at the battery or the ground wire from the battery at the part connected to the engine. Check your battery terminals for starters. You lost all power at one point because your radio had to be reset and the ground would be the most common place to look. I hope this helps and good luck.

SOURCE: No power in the car.

For your battery to be three months old, there has to be something causing your battery to loose a charge while parked. Even if your alternator was bad, you would have a warning light in the shape of a "battery" appear on the instrument cluster. There are electricians who specialize in car repair available. They can help you. It could be something simple, like a short in a light switch. Also check your trunk for proper closure. If it is not closed, the light will stay illuminated until the battery dies.

1998 Accord will not start

starting withthe battery,check and clean ALL connections as something is not making proper contact.make sure the cables are good, clamps tight..work your way to the starter solenoid and check contacts/ connections there..also chech ground wires..all this is only if the battery does not have a shorted cell in it.. even new ones can get shorts..if you can get it to start go to autozone or advance..they do free testing..

L turn key to on but car does not start. Headlights work but panel lights and radio dont. Window will not roll up or down.

If all of the fuses inside the car and in the engine compartment are good, you will need to check the key switch to see if it is providing power to these circuits. You will need a repair manual to get the wiring diagrams.
It's possible the car had a security system and it has failed, or a relay is dead, but I would start with the key switch.

When I turn the key it only clicks, starter does not engage

It's either a bad battery (low on charge) or a loose ground wire. If you are SURE that the battery has 12 volts (yes, even a low battery will run your lights, radio, door ajar chime, etc., but won't have enough to start the car). If the battery is fully charged and your volt meter shows 14.4 volts (fully charged battery reading), then it's a ground wire. There are two locations. The negative battery cable itself on the battery, and the location on the frame or engine where the cable connects to.If these are ok, check the positive cable connection on the starter.

Will not start or turn over. its like it isnt getting any power to anything. battery is fully charged and new if that helps. you put the key in and nothing. no door chime, dome light, headlights, or...

Does the horn honk? Headlight come on? Emergency flashers? If these things work it's time to check fuses. If they dont work you have a failure in the electrical system. Check the main fuse block under the hood or a shop needs to be visited.
