83 300CD Will not Start

[rmmagow]

Went to start the car this morning. All lights etc normal. No starter action. Now when I turn on ignition no dash lights. I hear a random clicking noise from seems like under dash. The Speedo and fuel guage twitch when this clicking occurs. Any idea where to start shooting this problem? I'm putting the battery on charge but the car was just running last week with no problems. Thanks for any and all pointers. This is a mayday call since I need the car in the morning.
Thanks Much.

An addendum. Absolutely zero power in car now. Nothing comes on at all. Is there a main monster relay for the car? Where is it located? Thanks Much.

AND FIXED.
Most basic of all maintenance on an old car. Clean the battery terminals and the ground. All is ok. Thanks.

Good show, I know that feeling when you turn the key an... NADA.. then how good if feels when all it takes is cleaning the batt terminals
