What else could be causing it to just not make any noise when I turn the key tho. It generally makes a quiet fuel pump noise or something but even in the dead quiet last night at midnight it made no noise

The gauges swept when I initially turned the key which is unusual and the door and dome lights cut off while the key was turned forward on probably the 10th try. But the battery drained not long after so probably because of that.
I had the same problem it was water was inside the fuse box if you haven't I would put the fuse box inside the rice and let it sit for a while I let mine sit for 48 hours and it was completely dry hope that helps man it sucks

Yeah I'm thinking it got wet again. Had to push it out of the garage to try and jump it and it's too heavy to push back in so it's been rained on

You might have a leaking windshield I had mine resealed and put them Fusebox in rice I checked my Gem and all was good inside didn't look fried I would reseal window first by checking to see if you have a leak turn on your ac and then spray soap and water from from a spray bottle all around windshield
