Help! Car won't start
 

So got up for work and the car wouldn't start.
Hadn't driven it 3 days and it showed no signs of a weak battery or any issues.

The lights, radio, horn everything seem fine.

I hit the engine start button to AC and then On, it try's to start but one click and suddenly everything is dead. It keeps doing that.

Tried to jump and trickle charge but nothing.

Any thoughts of starter or alternator or clean MAFs?

It's a 2009 6M with 55k miles.

Thanks for your help!

MT- neutral switch?
AT-don't have foot on brake?

Its definitely something electrical.
Have you check the battery? not showing sign, does not mean battery good.

But since you jumped and nothing happen, it could be some wiring issue. Starter is not getting enough power to turn. This happen to me on my other car. I have to cleaned all ground wiring point that are connected to the engine and chassis.

Yes, checked battery.

Will try to clean the terminals tomorrow. Bolt is on too tight and don't have the right wrench to get it off.

Checked the battery meter and now it's showing 12v instead of the 14v all day. Even after having the trickle charger on it for several hours.

Will try to charge over night and reconnect the terminals.

Update:

Bad negative battery terminal that had a slight gap not making full contact.

Battery seemed to get loose due to potholes and bumpy ride.

Thanks for everyone's help!
