It's possible that the starter quit. Pull it and have it tested.

Mark is right. Check ALL connections from the battery to the fuse box and starter. Make sure they are clean and tight.

Clean the connection on the starter solenoid. It's the yellow wire going to the starter. Remove the black slide clip, use sandpaper reinstall.

i am having this happen as well. it has happend three times. my husband changed the water pump and filled with coolant. the first time, it started after sitting for a day. he did something else to it, maybe checked the fans and what not to make sure they were running. i have consistently been checxking the gauges and making sure its not over heated. it has been steady in the middle of cold and hot. the next time it happened and my husband told me to check the coolant. it was bone dry. there is no reason it should have been after just having some put in very recently. put coolant in and started right up. the third time, i checked the coolant and it was full and started after having sat for an hour. i have no idea what is going on
