Chevy Cavalier 1999 Won't Start

Hello,

Yesterday, the ABS light came on in my Chevy Cav 99' (67K) and stayed on, I restarted the car and the light went off. I drove home and parked for the night, it was pretty cold last night low 20's, in the morning I tried starting the car and it won't start, it did not give any crancking noise, it was just some clicking when I put the key to ignition position, a friend tried to jump start the battery but with no use the car won't start. I noticed that the panel lights (breaks, oil, air bag etc...) go on and off when I turn on the key to the ignition position, please do you have any idea what is the problem, do you think it might be the battery? we changed the ignition module about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for you help in advance

asd

Need to turn on the headlights and turn the and watch the lights to see if they go dim.
You might want to connect a set of jumper cables to a vehicle that is running and let it charge the Cav. for a while. Then see if it will crank over. Sounds like the battery to me.
