I agree with Raz, there is something else you can try. Disconnect the battery for a minute or two. This will clear the computer { on most car} It is not recommended by most dealers, but I have found it helpful. While the battery sis disconnected check for a bad ground, could be in a wire that looks perfectly normal but sometimes under it it is not making a good contact. With most any starting problems I recommend checking the wiring. After checking all the connections hook the battery back up. I recommend to charge a battery correctly is disconnet it from the car and charge it at a slow rate. If the car still does not turn over then try what Raz mentioned
