Start with checking the battery for full 12.6V. (Fully charged) If fully charged but no start, remove/clean and replace both battery cables (BOTH ends) wrench tight. Although, judging from your post you may be better off getting the AAA. ---

If you have AAA call them. They will attempt a jump start which probably 95% the problem. ---

Make sure your cell phone is charged up? Seriously, this sounds like a dead battery and calling AAA is the way to go if you have a paid up membership. That’s what it’s for.
