Default Haven't driven in a few days and left key in it.

Might not have put the key in the right position and drained the battery just enough that it acts like it wants to turn over, but makes a rapid clicking sound.

Got a trickle battery charger on it. Hope it's just a little too drained to start the car.

Any advice???

Problem solved after a 1 hour charge. Whew.

Lucky but probably have a bunch of "low voltage" codes in history (may not turn any dash lights on)

Glad you got it going. For future reference; don't do that...

All dash lights work. From now on, the key is pulled.

It will be interesting to see if we hear from you again. While you may have left it on "Accessory", I really doubt it. Seems like you would have noticed the radio staying on.
