Did you verify this by manually turning the crankshaft.

**No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position

Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

You left the key on to long. Charge the battery or you can jump start it from another car. Leave the cables hooked up for 10min if it starts.
