I went out to the car this morning (it has been sitting since saturday), and my keyless entry isn't working.. So I unlock the door and turn the car on... nothing... not a click nothing at all.. Turn the car to the on position and no radio or anything like that.... Is it my battery, or could it be something else?

Sounds like you may have left something on like a dome light ect.. Just give it a jump start and let it charge. If it doesn't charge after running for 10-20 minutes you might have a defective alternator. In that case you can check it at home by...with the car running disconnect the positive battery cable from the battery, if the car continues to run the alternator is good. (Replace the battery) If car quits running, (Replace the alternator.)

Yes, your battery is dead. You can try to jump start it, or hook up a charger to it. You should see if you left something running in the car that drained the battery, or if your alternator is bad (not charging the battery), or if your battery has just died (plates inside the battery shorted out). Most shops that service batteries can check the function of these components and tell you what is bad.

make sure to check the battery cables for tightness then jump-start, that should cure the problem. if it does not get new battery and have alternator checked and may have to replace it. sorry for the bad news...

Make sure your battery cables are hooked up. If not just look at your battery meter in the dash.
