I'm not a mechanic so take it for what it's worth. Take your battery and have it checked. If it is OK have it charged and replace it in your car and see if it starts. When started check the charge across the battery poles. If your alternator is charging, the meter should read about 14+ volts. I recently had to replace the alternator in our 2003 Aero sedan. The symptoms were only a battery warning light, but my wife made it home before the battery died and left her stranded.
I had a battery go bad in our 2004 Aero and it had the same symptoms you describe. Good luck.
