Not sure what the best answer is. A vote will have to decide. Sorry.

why make things so complicated. if you left the dome light on and you know this then the battery is just drained. just jump start it. no need to replace it if it still works fine.

Dead battery. If your battery is over 3 years old you should probably have it replaced, otherwise you can have it jump started. Once it is jump started with battery cables, drive the vehicle for awhile with the headlights on, the fan on, and the radio on to get the battery charged quicker.
Drive to a place where your battery can be checked and or replaced. Turn the car on and try to start it again. If it starts, repeat the above again for about 15 minutes or so but remember to turn the car off near a repair shop.
If you have AAA they can jump the car for you or have someone who has battery cables give you a jump.
Good luck.

i have self assurance the dome mild switches are literally placed in the door latch. Get a can of WD40 and spray liberally in all the door latches. I mean VERY liberally. WD40 gained't harm some thing so in case you word slightly run out of the bottom of the door it truly is okay. you in reality ought to make positive you hit the change interior because you is very no longer waiting to really see it. Open and close each and each door even as you're trying this. If the change is only stuck this can seem after it. If the mild swithes are the frenzy button form placed on the door pillars, make positive they are in sturdy structure. Open one door at a time and push the button in to confirm if the mild is going out. If one has portion of the plastic damaged off it can't be getting in some distance adequate to really close the mild off.

That sucks. Just have someone give you a jump, then let your car run for a good 20 minutes or so. Everything will be fine. I know from experience!

Yes, and finding someone to jump start should fix your problem unless you already had a bad battery then you need a new battery.

dead, recharge, buy 1 at your local convience store, i.e. walmart, k-mart, fred meyer. hook up and put on auto charge or else it will overcharge and spit acid at u...lol
also turn on the heater on.
when you hook up, negative first, and postive second, oppisite when taking it off, if not it can ignite the dust on the battery and cause it to explode.
have fun
