Get a multimeter and test the battery. If its in the 11's its a bad battery . If its around the 12.40 its 70 percent charged

If the engine clicks when you turn the key, it could be the starter as long as the battery is reading at least 12.4 volts. If the engine doesn't click its most likely the starter solenoid, which is located right by the starter on most vehicles 96 and newer. Hope this helps.

After you got it started, did you let it run for a while? If so, did it start afterwards on its own?
