So it sounds like the battery went bad, you have no light at all, no headlights? If so, this can be the problem. Can you upload a short video of the problem so I can see what's going on? You may have a blown head gasket, and one cylinder is full of coolant not allowing the engine to crank over. Please go over this video which can help as well:

Please upload a video in your response :)
