Default My ef isn't starting

I tried starting it the other day,and I got a few clicks then nothing. The guages wouldnt even light up, I tried putting the charger on it and still nothing. Sometimes when I turn the key its like there is no power, no guages light up, the horn doesnt work, and the radio doesnt come on. I tried jumping the starter nothing happened, I checked the starter power nut for power with the key on and it had nothing. Im thinking its the ignition switch but if its that I should still be able to start it from the silinoide, and the horn should still work. What do yall think it could be?
Thank you for your help

Clean all of the battery terminals, and especially the ground cable where it bolts to the chassis of the car and the transmission. that seems to be the most common place for loss of power.
