Your battery is flat. Or there is a bad connection on one of the battery posts.
 
+3 may also be useful to tell us what car you are talking about and it it's petrol or diesel.

New batteries have been known to drop a cell PDQ. Batteries are not what they used to be unfortunately. I had a new Varta die after a couple of weeks. And they make batteries for almost everybody.
 
Or the dreaded RF issue ... or duff alternator. The list could continue!
 
hi there had diagnostic done needs new crank sensor, had ignition checked and he said not getting any power from ignition to starter is the ignition switch easy to replace and do you fine people think this could be the problem cheers all
 
Have to change my hairy ones to crystal balls. Could well be your problem, as was posted the list is endless. I take it the battery has been checked ie. fully charged and all the connections are clean and tight ( to battery and starter motor) and that the earth straps are in good condition, clean and tight. These are the basic steps to be checked before going down the path of changing things.

Too near the local supermarket ... :eek:

Friend of mine has issues with certain cabs from one company and he is convinced it is their RF ...
 
no power from ignition switch to starter could be relay in fuse box checking with multimeter at fuse box first
 
hi all battery ok fully charged,fuses and relays checked,straps and wires checked, only thing noticed is one relay gets warm but its the fan relay, we had rr turning over by using a by pass direct to starter but no fire up again ,as for the rf how can you test it cheers

Check the starter relay and check the fuse box for signs/smells of burning. Also sounds like it's lost sync.
