All engine faults/repairs/maintenance reluctant starting

when starting my van the lights come on but nothing happens, it is totally dead......battery is ok ..... pop under the driverside rear wheelarch and check the signal wire to the startermotor is connected to the spade connector on the solenoid.

1. turn key to first position- red dash lights not coming on. Battery flat or electrical connection fuulty, i.e. battery leads loose or fuse loose/blown

2. Turn key to second position (start)- no "click" and starter not turning over, see 1, and starter motor seized or electrical connection to starter motor loose. If connections are secure and not to corroded give starter motor a couple of hits with hammer or similar to "unstick" it. suspect worn starter motor bush.
