Default Dead Focus?

One of the girls at work drove in this morning with no problems in her mk1 Focus and went to leave this afternoon and nothing..

No dash warning lights, no odometer, not turning over but radio works, clock works, lights switch on and sounds door open buzzer so am I right in thinking it sounds like the ignition barrel/switch is at fault?

Cheers Mike

I'd say battery. When mine went flat it did the same thing, things would work but wouldn't turn over.

This ^^, remove the battery terminals (Beware of radio code etc) although this is the least of the concerns at the moment and make sure they are free of corrosion and reconnect.
