Car / Electrical Dead

I am currently on the road on a business trip and went out to my car this morning to find out that it won't start or even attempt to turn over.

Nothing that requires any power is working and I am hearing a clicking / buzzing sound that seems somewhat cyclical coming from the area to the left of the steering wheel where the fuse panel is located.

Does anyone know if this is a common issue / easy fix or should I just go ahead and call the Acura dealership here?

Thanks

My first guess would be the battery; especially if it's the original. If it is original, you've made it a lot further than most. This is the 03 isn't it?

It is an 03, but has already had the battery replaced. A simple jump seems to have taken care of the problem, but I guess I will see.

Check the battery terminals are on the battery tight as well as all of the grounding wires.

And obviously make sure you don't leave any interior lights on when you park.

Sounds like a battery issue. Like said above make sure your battery connections are tight and corrosion free. Also have your battery load tested.
