Car wont turnover/start

Couple of other thoughts -
- Run your hand along the length of both battery cables while squeezing them. On the 3G TL there have been instances of internal corrosion of one the cables that is not visible externally.
- Next time you run into the no start situation give the starter a couple of good bangs with a mallet (or something similar) as you may have a solenoid that is dead or dying.
- Can you hear the fuel pump priming when you hit the start button?
- You mention the key fob battery is good - are you seeing the green key on the dashboard?
