    It's worth checking the leads to the battery--mine were pretty corroded and not making proper contact. There was enough contact to allow for things like the door remote and the light when I opened it, as well as a click from the starter, but not enough to draw the power necessary to start. After a quick scrape with a pocket knife it started up no problem, and I've had no issues since.

    This exact same thing happened to me. The battery connectors had enough current/contact for accessories but not the ignition.
