If there is corrosion, just take connectors off and take some sand paper to the terminals and cables connectors to remove the corrosion. That should be all you need to do assuming the battery isn't dead.

exactly as metal said. Just clean them off and see what happens. Also what is it doing when you try and start, are you getting anything, like trying to turn over, or is it just dead

that's where i was going with it. does it click at all? does your light come on when you open the door? dont' go buy a 40 dollar battery when it could be some 5 dollar terminal connectors.

well make sure you clean the terminals first before you do anything. you can use sandpaper, a small wire brush or simply go to the parts store and buy a battery terminal cleaner. the same thing happened to my car, and i cleaned the terminals and the wire connectors and it started right up.
