I have always assumed that the ignition light going out & nothing happening when operating the starter are symptomatic of a bad connection somewhere. Often dirty battery terminals, but any of the connections, including earths. When this happens the offending connection gets hot, often Very hot.
This happened to us recently. It was where the earth from the battery was joined to the frame. In this case the engine turned over but wouldn't start and I burnt my finger on the earthing bolt.
Do other circuits, eg horn, work?
