If it won't crank, it could be the battery. But first check the battery posts and connections for corrosion. An easy trick is to pour coca cola or even better, baking soda mixed in water, over the connections. If your battery has a charge but the car won't crank, this is usually a quick fix. disconnect, pour on the mixture until it stops foaming and then reconnect assuring that the connection is tight and you can't turn the cables. If that doesn't work, check the connections at the starter and the negative cable to the frame or body.
