Unhappy 2006 Mustang GT - 12k miles, good battery, car is dead - help?

Hi - I have a 2006 Mustang GT with 12k miles, 4.6/5-spd - never driven in the winter (hardly driven at all, really) garaged 100% of the time, space is never below 40 degrees, new Optima Yellow top installed in December, battery tender is functional, car is started and run to operating temp every two weeks or so - driven around the block if the streets are dry, it has ALWAYS started perfectly.

Went out today and it's dead, turn the key and the starter clicks away, no lights, no horn, nada...

Any thoughts? Battery is 100% - pulled it out to start my truck - no problems...

Thanks
Dave

Check your battery terminals for corrosion.

I'd start with the battery cables, my parent's suzuki had the same problem, perfect battery but the car wouldn't start. Turned out to be a bad set of battery leads, swapped those out and it was as good as new.
