Just the normal beeps when you put let's in. Had a dead battery couple of days ago, jump started it. Has ran fine since then. Today it won't crank or start.
Ok, Charge the battery and test it. If it is good, disconnect the negative cable, and measure the amperage draw between the battery and negative cable.
I think you have a parasitic draw issue where something is staying on where it should not.

Had battery tested, its good. No loose wires. Tried to jump start, wouldn't catch. Gonna check fuses? Any more suggestions?
Parasitic draw test, charge the battery, check fuses. You could also connect a code reader to see if it will communicate with the PCM.
Problem fixed. It was a accessory fuse under good causing it Not to start. Now to figure out what keeps blowing that fuse.
Great find! What fuse number is it, or what is it labeled?
#8 acc. fuse under good. Problem is, it keeps blowing. Car won't start again
Ok, I'll look at the schematic to see where to test tomorrow.
