Battery is dead or you have a bad solenoid. Connections at the solenoid and/or starter could be loose or corroded.

Dead battery, defective ignition switch, blown main fuse, loose or corroded battery cable at either end.

Cleaning the battery terminals had nothing to do with the engine not idling properly. Just a coincidence.

You either have a low battery or your terminals need cleaned
On a 2000 2.5L V6 What would cause the engine not to turn over Charged the battery and cleaned the terminals What next?
Well if everything but the starter engages when you turn the key the starter is bad, if not then your ignition switch may be bad. Starter would be my first choice in any case.
Your BMW makes a clicking sound when ignition switch is on lights working and radio on what do you need to do to get it started?
first thing to check is the battery cables, corrosion will allow enough current for lights but not enough to engage the starter, once the terminals and cables are cleaned and tightened go to where the positive cable is connected to the starter and make sure it is clean and tight, then there is a smaller wire also going to the starter, same for it. If nothing helps have the battery tested, then remove the starter and have it tested as well before replacing either one

What would make a 2002 Malibu LS loss all battery power in like a minute I boosted it and it has ran fine for about 2 weeks I cleaned the battery terminals?
Have you tested the actual battery ? For a battery to run down that quickly means a huge power drain somewhere or a bad battery.
What happens when you chnage a battery in an 2003 Aztek and you have full power but nothing happens?
Did it run before you swapped batteries or did you guess it was a bad battery. Did you have the old battery tested? If it ran before you swapped batteries then i would say you left something unhooked or the battery terminals are cruddy and need cleaned
