Tried slow charging the battery. When turning the key, only get a single click. All the lights, dash info, gauges seem to work.  
  
 Battery, relay, starter?  
  
 Problem just happened, no other problems prior to this p.m.

Sounds like the starter. Try whacking it with a hammer and try the key again.
