I left the cabin light on overnight and didn’t drive the car for another day after that. The car was completely dead when I went to start. Tried jumping it without success. Tried charging battery and tried again. Still dead. I then put a new battery in and tried but nothing. I checked all the fuses, and they are good. Any advice please. Really frustrated.
Thanks.

How are the battery cables, are they corroded? This will cause the electrical power not to be generated to the car.

Here is a guide that will help:

If everything checks out the ignition switch can be bad, here is a guide to help check it and the wiring diagrams below so you can see which wires to test for power:
