This will at least tell you if your battery is supplying any juice at all, as these functions do not require the key to even be in the ignition to function. If these work, and nothing happens when you turn your key in the ignition (no dash lights), then your ignition switch is probably bad.
When you said lights won't turn on, are you talking about the instrument cluster lights or the interior lights? I guess this needed more clarification before I suggested what I did; thought you were talking about dash lights.
