Answer
Brady, does the starter solenoid make that clicking noise when trying to crank the engine now? What is the voltage at the battery voltage? What does the year stamp show on the top of the negative battery terminal? What happens if you charge the battery? Are your battery cables clean and tight? If the engine doesn't crank and your battery is good with over 12.45 volts then try another vehicle key. If you are getting the solenoid click then the batrery voltage is too low.
