Help! &740 Won't Start 700 89

My beloved two week old 89 740 Turbo has dropped an Easter egg this morning. Went first thing this am and she would not start, not even a "maybe". Tried jumping battery with son's truck, no luck same symtoms. Turn the key and she groans, nothing seems to be turning, after a few seconds on the starter she sounds like she is draining. Aux's seem to work (no dimness in lights etc..) Everything seems to be connected no visible loose wires etc..Have not done anything different myself in operating or cleaning. Wife tried out the lighted makeup mirror last night and shut it off when done. This is the only aux that has not been used in the last two weeks until last night. Sounds weird if this has something to do with it. Maybe I've been cleaning it to much! Zero problems during last two weeks, drove every day always started up first time and smooth. It's going in for warranty stuff next week under the 30 day cover on used cars from the dealer. I'd try calling him right now except he is likely out delivering easter baskets somewhere. Any advice would be appreciated, hate to have to look at it sitting in the driveway all day.
