Sounds like your starter is bad. Have you tried jump starting it.? If so does it crank over n start when jumping it n stay running or does it still not start.?? If when jumping it your car starts then dies right away it's usually the alternator if it cranks but still won't start it's usually the starter. Usually with a bad starter when you turn the key it either A-does nothing at all or B- when you turn the key it just clicks.

Could be as simple as a dirty battery terminal end. Remove and clean the battery terminal connections and check the battery voltage.

My 2005 Chevy uplander cut off on me while I was driving to work on the hwy. I was told by Honda dealership mechanic that the alternator went out and took the battery with it. I put a new alternator on. Battery was charged and I was told it was still a good battery. Now when I turn the key it just clicks. Also the hands on my dashboard shake an the lights on the dashboard flicker if I hold the key to turn the ignition. Can anyone tell me what's wrong???
