Tried to jump start the car today, waited for about 5 minutes and although she struggled, it started and is currently running.

Goldstone - I checked the starter connections and everything appears to be in working order.

BenzMatic - the engine didn't do anything yesterday at all. It was as though I didn't even have a battery connected at all.

Since the car did start from the jump, you suggested the battery, alternator, or charging circuit as problem areas. I have checked the battery and it is registering properly (and is only two years old). I am attempting to find someone locally who can check the alternator. What can I do to check the charging circuit? I did notice that the first layer of insulation on the wire going from the battery to the alternator had begun to fray but I could not see any wires showing through.

Thanks for the initial replies.
