A no-start situation could be anything from a invalid key, the shiftlock preventing starter motor engagement, a failled startermotor relay, a failled startermotor, or many other things.

This is why reading the codes makes it so easy to diagnose. Without a code reader you are working blindfolded with your hands tied behind your back.
Hi Swiss, thanks for quick responce, I dont have a vida unfortunately, i will try taking the battery off and charge it, will check the fuses too as theres daylight now,
