* Remove and fully charge/replace the battery. Most auto parts stores will test/charge batteries for free.

* Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

* Check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting:

Most likely, the battery is dead.

Heatlights, heater, and flashers working does not, by a long sight, prove that the battery is good. Starter motors draw much more amperage than those items.
