Is this your car? Is it a car? It sounds as if the anti-theft device is functioning.

Are you using the brass valet key instead of the transponder key?

You haven't given us much information.

Mo mo no go? That sounds frightful!

Sounds like you are well on the road to success. It's safe to assume that you didn't find any help here.

Better (not necessarily perfect) grammar and correctly used punctuation would help.

Have you found the problem, suspect a problem, hope a problem has a particular attribute or are you asking us to help?

If you want help then communicate clearly (not perfectly) with more detail of what your problem is, what you've checked and your observations along the way.

I'm guessing it's a car problem. Can OP explain what a mo mo is please?

Could just be a bad connection (if it isn't a vehicle immobilisation system fault). There shouldn't be any fusable links in the main current path between the battery and the starter motor/main electrics (unless the wiring is damaged).

Best to get out that multimeter and trace the wiring!

If the head lights dim when you try and start the vehicle (or operate the accessories) and nothing else happens you likely have a short circuit.

Let us know what you find, oh and what vehicle you have.

You have obviously lost your vehicle.

Please give us a complete description and we will help you look for it.

I believe this should have been posted in the commercial section. The OP specializes in selling headlights, I believe. Probably keeps the fully charged battery around to demonstrated that they work. Specialization is the trend... "Just Brakes," etc.

Poor guy!

Had this happen to a relative of mine, a day after his truck was stolen it was recovered or I should say the frame, rear axle and firewall were recovered.

Good thing the thieves left the lights and his new charged up battery.

Mo mo no go but at least he won't be in the dark.

A fully charged battery and a couple headlights could light up a campsite each evening for several evenings. All he needs is a little wire. The glass is half full.

If it's an Audi, he could toast some vampires...

Sorry, this one's so bad, I have to hide under the cloak of anonymity. The commercial was stupid, jokes about it are worse...

Thanks for all the help, or lack of it! Ha! It would seem the problem is on power to the ignition switch. I do have power at the fuse box. I'm going to run a hot lead to the switch in the morning. Forgive me for the lack of info. In previous post

That's an opinion not information.

In all fairness you could have been more helpful by providing more information and answering some of our follow up questions.

Let's take a look at your original post, in total.

"Have head lights but nothing else?? New charged up battery mo mo no go??"

You give no indication of type, make, model year, voltage, TYPE OF VEHICLE or any other useful information at all here.

You didn't even ask a question.

My point is you will need a pretty thick skin to survive here if this is indicative of the quality of your posts.

Welcome to the site. You've made a grand total of 5 posts so far. I think it's a little premature for you to be inviting people to leave.

Cheers.
