Default nothing happens when key is inserted and rotated

Hi,
I used my car several times yesterday, the last stop was fatal as it seems...
I got in the car, inserted the key and ... nothing, turned it ... nothing.. No lights on the dashboard, just radio and headlights are working (when turn on high beams).
Replaced the battery - still nothing.
Do you have any ideas?

Audi A8 2003, petrol

VAG shows: 00184 - Control Circuit for Engine Start/Stop Switch

Kessy module failure or corrosion on a connector pin. Try to perform a diagnostic scan to determine fault area.

Many thanks for the answer.
I am going to get an expert today as this happened on Friday
On Saturday I went again and check the driver floor mat - it was very wet, I had no idea about this...

And the worse thing is that this unpleasant situation happened in an underground garage of shopping center with low roof ...

Ah, well, the wet isn't good. Clogged A/C drains, sunroof drains, or cowl drains. A diagnostic will help a lot, but even if you fix the fault making it not run, if it's caused by the water, it will happen again. So, start with a diagnostic and clearing the drains out!

Exactly this was the problem! - Wet wet wet.

And I should blame myself only because months ago I noticed the windows getting foggy easily...

Anyway, the kessy is now clean and dry and up two inches

I cleaned the evaporator drains today will clean and the sunroof.

Best regards to all!
