I was using it for the past few months. Once I was driving, the car just completely stalled after moving off a stop sign. Started it and worked again. Now this winter I had not used or even started it for a few months... but today I was unable to start it. There was not even a starting sound. The battery seems fine as the check engine lights turned on and the radio also started. Battery is ok... what can be the issue. I was checking and not sure if it is the ETC sensor probably? ideas?

does it click when you turn the key?
the fact that radio/gauges turn on does not mean that the battery is ok.

Jump start it. If it starts, then the battery is discharged. As Foques said, some lights work fine even is the battery is nearly discharged. If you aren't going to start your vehicle for a few weeks or months, at least keep a trickle charger/maintainer keeping the battery top-charged.
