I have a very similar issue as of yesterday. Went into the store to buy smokes, came out and tried to start. Cranked over really slow, and the second time I tried to start it, there was nothing. Didn't even hear the starter solenoid click, or my fuel pump turn on. Assumed it was my battery/alt, but when I tried to jump it with my xterra, nothing at all. Checked the battery with a multi-meter, and it reads a full 12.6v??? Gonna try to figure it out this evening, time permitting.

When you crank it do the headlights dim at all?
