Hi,

Are other electrical components working such as lights, horns, radio, and so on? Also, how long was it parked? Do you mean overnight or was it in storage?

Are the battery terminals clean, tight, and in good condition? Have you checked fuses for power in the under-hood fuse box? If you haven't, do that and let me know the results.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know.
