Car Won't Crank, Electronics Fine
My car won't crank at all when started. All electronics work fine and I checked the voltage to be a little over 12V.
Don't know if this influenced it in any way, but I accidentally left the trunk open all night and some rain might've gotten to the back.
Any thoughts, suggestions?

Have you checked under the spare tire and around battery for rain water?

Try jump starting the car with another car. Due to the trunk being left open, battery may have been discharged.
12.6V -- 100% charge
12.4V -- 75% charge
12.2V -- 50% charge
12.0V -- 25% charge
If you don't have access to another car to jump start, charge the battery with trickle charger and try to start.

do you get a faint click sound? do the dash lights work, but when you go to turn over they turn off?
