I'll hazard a guess, since no one else has. (I'm spending way to much time on this keyboard these days LOL) It could be a loose or corroded connection, and a likely culprit could be the battery. Pull the cables, clean the terminals and then tighten them securely. Or the alternator could be on the way out. Those are the easy ones. You'll need someone to test the alternator for that though. Good luck.

If the head lights do not come then not the key. Need to work back towards battery cables and battery. If head lights come on, then switch/column/dash. Need to work from battery out to find the short/failure.

You need a multi meter or a simple test light to test for 12V at the (+) battery post, then to the battery clamp, then to the cable conductor all to ground.
At the fuse/relay box in the front, pull DME relay and test at terminal #30 for 12V.
