Default car wont start!

hey, my car wont start all of the sudden.

it started fine all day, when it didnt start, it was prob the 6th time starting for the day.

when i press the start button, nothing happens, no clicks, no whines, no nothing


i checked the start button and clutch switch and they seem to be working

i havent gone under the car to check the starter itself

what do you think it is that could be causing it? this has happened before, but not too many times, prob once or twice in a month or so.

if the battery is completly dead, there would be no cranks or anything.

It is however, to COMPLETLY drain a battery especially in under 5min. Its either the battery or a loose wire that disconnected somewhere.
