The car when the key is inserted and I turn the key, nothing happens the battery seems to be fine and I attached a battery charger and still nothing happened. It does not crank or no other noises come from the engine. It doesn't click but all the lights work and all the instrument panels lights are on. Thsi is a first for me, it almost seems like there is a kill switch on the car that has to be turned on before the car will start. It has happened twice before but after a little while it will start up, but not this time. Frustrated.

You need to start by checking for power to the starter. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power to the smaller wire on the starter. It should have 12v. Let me know what you find.
