I drove home from work thursday and everything was okay. Got in it friday morning and it wouldnt start. It would crank but not start. Tried it a few times and the battery was down. Tried to get a jump and it was like it was not getting any fire. That evening when I got off work got in it and it started right up. Got in it today and it wouldnt start. Tried a couple of times and then it would just clicked.

Clean the battery cable ends and battery posts. While at it have the battery tested at a local auto parts store (they will do it for free). If the battery cable ends are severely corroded of show signs of excessive wear (sometimes the battery acid will eat away at them leaving them too thin to make good contact with the battery), replace them.
