Does the engine crank? That is, when you turn the key to start 
the engine, does the starter work and turn over the engine?
Does the starter go "click" at all?  

What happens if you turn on the headlights and try to start it? 
Do the headlights stay bright? Or do they dim?

Or is it totally nothing -- no engine cranking, no starter noise,
no headlight dimming, nothing?
