Had same experience. After trying to start every time I touched anything, and waiting for a tow, I put the parking brake on/off several times. Tried to start. It finally worked. Prior to setting up for tow, had AAA come for a jump. Put their battery tester on and got a msg, “can’t test battery due to ‘noise’.” More @Wikipedia
