Car won't start???

Hey guys, took out my battery yesterday so I could take out my aem cai filter to clean. When placing back the battery I tried to turn the ignition and the car wouldn't start . Normally when you turn the key twice(II) you should be able to see the dash lights light up(e.g. abs, maint) but when I turn mine you get nothing other than the back lit odometer. I also hear 2 clicks coming from the right side of the car. This is extremely frustrating, I've checked all fuses and even checked the battery and all is good. My last resort is to tow the thing to the shop.

Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems like this before and can give me some advice.

thanks,

Remove the battery clamps. Use steel wool to clean inside battery clamps and battery post and retry.

thanks for the response guys. Yeah, my battery is hooked up correctly. Maybe I'll try cleaning the terminals tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks again.
