Default Help!!! Car Just Died!!!

I was just driving back from getting my girlfriend from work and my radio shut off, then my clock on my dash shut off, then my gauge light shut off...and as I was pulling in my driveway...the car just died, shut off, kaput! WTF! It's not throwing any codes, the car won't turn over, it just clicks when I turn the key...it's acting like I have a dead battery...but how did it start the car this morning @-40C and then start the car when I went to get the girlfriend 10minutes before it died!?!?!

HELP!!!!

Jason

Anyone have any idea on the brake light? It's the brake light in the guage cluster...not the actual exterior brake light...it's only done it the once...I'm not that concerned but it freaked me out...I'm starting to think my car is possessed!
