my first idea is to ask you to clarify your post.  
If the battery is dead, no you wont get any kind of starter action.  
did you re-charge or replace dead battery? why did battery die? is the alternator busted too? With a new battery, do you get a clicking from the starter solenoid, or some other sound? What kind of shape is the ignition sw. in? ect. please try to use relatively whole sentences. that would help a lot.

You need to tell us if this is a “no-crank” or a “crank no-start”, after that follow the proper flow chart in a manual.
