Because you left the lights on all night. This drains the battery. Connect a battery charger and wait about 3 hours. Then the car might start. If it does not start buy a new battery or a new car whichever you prefer.battery juice is gone.

Does the engine crank but not start? Or does it not even crank? Based on the information you gave, you could have a bad starter or weak battery. Dead battery. Recharge it or get a new one.

What could be wrong if your car will not crank or start up?
First off, won't start AND won't crank is usually electrical, dead battery, poor connections at the battery or starter, bad starter ( Do you have lights and gauges? ) then that is very much the issue. Do the lights dim when you crank, do they go out altogether, does it start to crank and slowly stop, or does it crank ever so slowly? these are all battery or battery terminal issues, check your battery and clean those terminals to clean metal, check the thick red wire going to the starter, it needs to be mounted well on the starter and not grounding out on metal along the way. Batteries can go bad and still show 12 volts, this happens a lot in winter and summer, extremes in temperature will just kill a battery in a matter of hours so have it load tested.
Why 2002 Chevy Tahoe will not start it just cranks but will not start what is wrong?
Turn your key to the run position without attempting to crank. Leave it in this position for about 10 seconds. If your Tahoe is equipped with the battery meter, let the meter reach its peak. Then attemp to start.

How do you know if your starter went out or is it your alternator?
if it is your alternator your battery will be low or dead... your lights will be dim when turned on. , if you cannot crank your car or it will crank slowly it may be your starter or battery cable connection or a loose connection in the link........ , a low battery caused by an alternator will usually click rapidly the starter solenoid, when trying to start, and the lights will go out when cranking ..., for the most part turn on your headlights if they are dim the charging system or the battery is to blame .. hope this helps
The alternator battery and brake light are on in my Pontiac Sunfire and now it will not crank so is it the battery or the alternator?
Charge the battery, start the car and check the battery with a volt meter. Should have over 14 volts, if only say 12.4 to 13, then change the alt. or check the wiring.

Why are your gauge lights flickering when you start the car?
Because you are asking the battery for its full power available to crank the car's engine over. It could also mean the battery is weakened or weakening and requires replacement or perhaps recharging. Almost all the energy available is going to the start function.
