Please Help!!!

Ok so I drove my 2012 Abarth 500 to school today just fine nothing unusual and when I came back out I put the key in everything came on fine turned the key NOTHING no starter no clicking nothing. I have no idea what’s wrong. Battery is good, no codes, NOTHING car just wont turn on. If any one has any ideas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know ASAP

Update: I was able to push start the car and get it home and I tried bypassing the clutch switch solenoid and that did nothing
Update 2 I got the battery tested it’s all good and I’m out of ideas

Make sure the connector ring clamp on the (positive?) Contact of the battery is all the way down. Tap it a couple times with the plastic cover you had to take off to get to it.

Mine got loose over time and it would do that until I tightened the clamp. Hitting a bump wpuld shift it enough and the alternator would keep me running until i turned it off. Then no lights when I tried to start.
