No crank dash lights

Check the battery voltage. Then charge it with a good, slow 12V battery charger. It should get to a 12.6 VDC level or close. That's six cells with 2.1 VDC per cell. Then post what happens when you try to crank it. ...... If it doesn't charge up to the 12.6 VDC level, it may be time for a new battery. Please post what you find.

It is often had to determine whether an vehicle electrical problem is the battery or the alternator. Here's a simple to use device that plugs into the 12 VDC socket on the dash. It tells you the voltage with engine off and engine running. If the engine is off and it reads 12.6 VDC or so, the battery is good. With the engine running, you show see more Voltage, say 13.8 to 14.5 for example. That shows the alternator is good. These plug in devices show a digital read out for elec. system and some have also show a read out of amb. air temp. Many have two ports for USB charger to charge your smart phone and tablets while you drive. www.frys.com and amazon and many others sell these devices.
