Will the headlights come on? Does any of the interior lights illuminate?

If not, look to the battery first; something could have pulled it down and drained it.

Clean the battery terminals as mentioned, you cannot see a faulty ground.

how long was it sitting? If you just got it out for winter or rather were going to take it out from a winter storage the battery could be dead. I would throw a charger on it and open the door see if the interior lights come on.. and if so let it charge up for a while then try starting it.. the reason I say it could be dead from storage is because the ECM and the radio draw a small amount of power to keep their memory alive.
