Have you had the battery itself tested? Features like the lights and power windows do not use a lot of battery power. A starter motor will use at least 9 volts on a 12 volt battery. Batteries usually only last about 5 to 8 years before they start to fail, less if you have 'start-stop' fitted to your vehicle.
HAVE YOU TRIED TO JUMP START IT? DOES IT MAKE ANY NOISE AT ALL WHEN TRYING TO START IT? IF YOU HAVE AN OLD BATTERY, I WOULD START THERE FIRST. I WOULD TRY TO JUMP START IT FIRST. IF THAT DOESNT WORK, TAKE THE BATTERY OUT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY WILL TESTY IT FOR FREE
Do the dash lights come on ? They should come on when the key is turned to the on position. If nothing happens check the engine relay. It is not too expensive to replace if you really want to eliminate that as the problem. Check all wires going to the starter and make sure it is wired correctly.
