Clean your battery terminals. If that doesn't do it clean the other end of the cables. If that doesn't get it feel along them for hot spots after trying to start it. your cables are not getting a connection or are broken internally.

If that doesn't work, check your fuses. I had a similar problem, and, although the fuses were good, I'm guessing one wasn't connecting right. I pushed them all in and the car started just fine. Good Luck!
