theres no noises exept for the accessories turning on and the fuel pump priming itself. the battery is fine though as it just started the ed...

If you can. Try to jump start it.
The battery may start the other car but yours may take just a little more then it has in it atm. Your starter may have carked it tho |

Check the ECU relay under the coolant bottle. My wifes car did the same thing and it turned out to be a faulty relay. The ECU relay is the green one.....
