Car wont crank over and there are no clicking sounds or lights at all. The cap and all the accessory lights will not true on when key is turned. What could be the issue?

Hi Thathoho, my name is Alex and I will be helping you. Did you check your battery terminals. Here are a couple of links that might be helpful:

Can you put the car in neutral and try to crank it over?

Hello,

Can I ask if the security light is flashing? Also check for make sure the gear selector is in park all the way. Here is a the starting wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and a guide to walk through to see what's going on:
