the yellow profile of a car is an indicator you are using the wrong key. That is probably why it won't start. If you are using the proper key, you might have to check out the ignition system and or program the key to the car again. Did you check the battery cables that attach to the battery? They might be corroded. Remove and clean them up. Youtube has a few good videos on the process.

Your engine control unit (ecu) is malfunctioning due to moisture. Check the box that it is mounted in to make sure it's not cracked or ruptured - you can put something that absorbs any moisture in with it. It may need to be replaced due to moisture.
