06 jcw no crank

Seem to be having an issue with the old girl. I can have power to the car, run a booster and all dash lights and all is good to go. Problem is, when I try and turn the car over, I get nothing, no crank, no attempt to crank, nothing. Totally dead.

Anyone have any ideas upon why I would not be getting a crank?

Any suggestions upon where to look? Where to start etc.

Get a fresh fully charged battery and try again, not just a booster pack. These cars don't like low voltage, at all. I've had a slow current draw somewhere for sometime now; if I let the car sit more than a week or so it dies completely. Even with a jump right to the battery terminals (try this too if you haven't already) the car won't crank until I've charged up the battery full, ~12.6V. Then find out why it's dying - old battery, alternator, drain etc.

Checked voltage at 14.1. I'd have expected that to be more than enough to at least even have the starter try and turn. I literally get the same actions as if I am not engaging the clutch... Dead dead
