All of the above are good suggestions. One more is to check and clean and tighten all of the battery connections. Even when they seem tight they can have corrosion and gunk keeping the current from flowing to the battery. I had this happen to mine just a couple of weeks ago. After removing the battery clamps and brushing off both the clamps and battery posts and re-securing everything the truck fired right up.
