With very cold temps, I turn the ignition key and get absolutely nothing other than idiot lights. No click to solenoid, just nothing. If I am lucky enough, after several attempts to start the car by turning the key I will get ignition.

    How old is your battery? If it is over 4 years old, get a new one. And then go from there.
