checked battery and alternator all ok
there is no feed to the smaller wire going to starter motor when ignition is turn to final position, now i am lost, relays fuses, checked the auxillary fuses and main fuse box, not sure about relays?

Did he disconnect the battery before charging?
Did the meter on the charger show the battery had fully recharged?
Get a multimeter or battery tester and check the battery voltage, I think it may be dead.

Problem may not be battery but alternator, check the tension of the Fan belt, if loose, alternator will not be able to turn hence wont charge battery, a garage wont charge much for checking this...5minute job
