Westwood 2012H won't start?

My Westwood 2012H cut out completely when I switched on the lights, and wouldn't start, or show any sign of life. I checked the fuses, all seem fine. I've isolated the light switch generally cleaned things. There is now a click when I turn the ignition key, but nothing else; no dashboard lights, no start. The click in not coming from the starter motor. The battery seems OK. Does anybody have any suggestions please.

Thanks gents. The PCB fuses are all OK (tested). I'll try bridging the starter solenoid. Strange that the engine cut out when the lights were switched on (in broad daylight, just because they were there).

Pull out the circuit board from under the dash. It contains 4 fuses. One of them has probably blown. The click you can here is from a relay on this board.

the click you are hearing is from the starter solenoid,it means you are getting power to the solenoid but not from it to the starter motor,you can try bridging the solenoid to see if that starts the motor and if it doesnt then you either dont have enough power in your battery or you have a faulty stater motor.,if it does turn over the motor then your solenoid is faulty.
