A 2004 Ford Focus. I turn the key, and absolutely nothing happens, except a bunch of lights come on on my dash (engine, oil, battery... about all of 'em). Figured the battery was dead, but a jump didn't work, and the light is green on the battery, indicating it's good. Also, lights and radio work fine. What else could it be?

Is it the alternator?

The starter or the ignition switch or the starter relay. Could be a loose wire on the starter too. Good Luck

it may be the starter/solinoid but my friend had a car where the lights came on and the radio worked and still it was the battery cable try cleaning it and/or spin it on the post.

Not to sound like a broken record, but battery cable. i had trouble starting my car and it was the battery cable, and all you need to do is check the tightness, which is easy and free. if that doesn't work, starter solenoid

It could be the alternator, because even after a jumpstart if the alternator is out your car will be dead because there's nothing charging the battery.
It could also be the starter because a jumpstart without a working starter wouldn't start the car either.

take the battery terminals off and clean them real good with a stiff brush and also the battery where the terminals mount and then rehook up annd tighten real good, bad connection.

Might be the Starter.

Starter solenoid and/or starter. Take your car to certified mechanic.
