Sounds like something is shorting out whenever the ignition key is turned on. Could be the starter motor, as that is the first electrical connection after the battery.

How to start a 2000 Toyota Solara after the battery has gone down?

Jump start it from another vehicle or charge the battery. If the battery is bad, replace it. If you jump start it and the battery is dead you will have to wait about 15 minutes with the jump car running and connected to the dead battery, in order to build the battery up enough for it to actually take a jump.

This has happened to both of my jeeps. it's actually not even a problem. the caps on the battery corrode and make it hard for the cables to obtain electricity from the battery. all you need to do is take some sandpaper and rub the battery caps down until that corrosion is off and your jeep will start fine.
