My Buick Century has enough battery but doesn't even click when the key is turned. It started fine just 3 hours earlier. What could be the problem? Thanks, Mark

You'll need to find out if you have power to the starter cables with the key in the start position. There's not much other than the key switch or the fuse box that would kill the engine and also not allow the engine to crank. You are dealing with two different systems.
Check your battery voltage, sound to me like your battery cold cranking amps is low. Its enough the power the lights but not turn the engine over. Have the battery replace
Sometimes there will be just enough corrosion on the battery terminals to allow for low draw items such as the radio but not enough contact for the most heavy draw item, the starter. Start by cleaning the terminals. Also jumping of another car to the battery cable ends will tell you if the terminals connections are compromised.
