Depends on the sound that it makes when you turn the key over.
Clicking noise...usually the starter
If it sounds like its going to start, but doesnt, most likely the battery.
If you have replaced the battery recently, then its the alternator.
Sometimes there can be oil build up over the spark plugs so it doesnt get the spark to start.
Hope you get it fixed!!

Back in the trunk, on the passenger side, is a fuel pump module. The ground for the module was loose.

Some cars can be reset by turning the ignition to on and waiting a while to reset. Could be as much as 10 minutes. The light will stop flashing when it is reset. Others have a different process. If you have the owners manual it may tell how to do this.
This may work also and a lot faster.
insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it.
