Engine wont start or crank with ignition

While driving slow, the engine just died, i could see the low level cooling indicator came on few seconds before... but the coolant level is fine. Now when i turn the ignition on the motor does not turn over, however the cooling fan comes on! this never happened before.
I have been using the car with two warning lights on, recently the first the SRS came on then the ESP,but i dont think either are the cause. When a engine diagnostic is fitted it just reads error in connection, we have tried with 3 different machines now. The ignition lights appear to be working normally. We checked the starter motor is good so is the battery Any ideas what could be wrong
