Corrosion on battery terminals likely. Baking soda and water will clean it, the vaseline on terminals to prevent it from happening again. May have to remove them and use a wire brush or a $1 terminal cleaner, that has a bottle-brush-like enf and a round end for battery. If side post, basically same. If that does not work, and you have had not warning lights on, such as ALT to warn you the battery is not charging, time for new battery

Battery is fine, is there a kill switch on anything that would not let it start, I was in the locked car and tried to start it, the alarm went off , could that be why it won't start?
