You sure you're using the right key? (j/k)

Well...do you have power? If you turn your headlights on, are they dim?

yeah...you're battery terminals are loose...check them and retighten them, so it doesn't come disconnected again while you're driving.

That happened to me (dumb mechanics!) and my car stalled at a stoplight...wouldn't start. I happened to have a socket set on me, tightened it back up and it never bothered me again.

Check your battery. If you are still on the stock battery, you may be due for a new one.

Check your charging system...battery, alternator. Batteries show their weaknesses during the cold months...
