One time I thought my battery died while I went into the store. Turns out I accidentally left it in Drive. Sounds stupid but make sure it's in park or neutral. Do your lights come on nice and bright? Indicating you've got plenty of electricity. I would check the fuses next.

Lights are nice and bright its in park, you think it may be a ignition switch? I've YouTube it and the car still cracks over with a bad ignition switch & the ignition switch was acting weird before this happened. I would manually put the key in the on position after it started if I didn't the blower wouldn't work it has close to 300,000 miles so it isn't perfect...lol

Welcome to MCF!
I would check the Chassis Ground connections, Starter, Fuel delivery, Spark and Ignition module.
