I have a 2004 Ford Taurus wagon. I started it this morning and drove it 3 miles to work just fine. When I shut it off and got out, I pushed the power door lock, but nothing happened. I couldn't figure out why the doors wouldn't lock so I tried to start the car again and nothing. No sound at all. No cranking, no clicking, no almost turning over...nothing. Would a battery die so suddenly after driving? Did something come unhooked? Any help would be VERY appreciated!
 
clean the battery cables your best bet they are dirty remove them scrape out the inside and try again and no batteries most always show some kind of sign before they go bad more like a cable loose or dirty
 
Check the connections to the battery.

Also, if the alternator is bad, the car would have started but then ran off the battery without charging it, so once your park it and shut it off, the battery is very very weak or dead (probably dead if you used A/C)

Try to get someone to jump start you if the connections are OK but the car still wont start.
