We travelled from Ga to Ormond Beach, FL Saturday. Car cranked & ran fine. We went to the grocery store last night (Sunday) one day after arriving & she won't crank. Lights come on, radio is working & power windows are working. The warning lights are the check lamp (tail lamp is out) & check oil/add oil, but the level is at an acceptable level per manual. Any ideas? Already cleaned the battery terminals & cables with Baking Soda & post brush.

It could be a few things. You need to first check to see if there is power to the smaller wire on the starter. Have a friend turn the key to the start position while you check. There should be 12 volts.
