Just a few minutes ago, I went outside and tried to crank up the car but it won't crank. When I put the key in the ignition, a noise comes on you know the noise letting me know i left the lights on or keys in the ignition, but it won't crank. It's like it's locked. I did notice that earlier when i was driving it it and stopped like at a stop sign it would jerk forward. What do I do? Has anyone had this problem before?

There is a freeze warning in effect but it's only like 40 degrees so i dunno if this has something to do with it or not.
 
you can try to start the van in neutral to see if that helps if that does not work turn on the head lights are they dimmer than usual? try to start it with the lights on if the lights go out complete your battery may be dead does it make any noise at all when you try to start it?
 
check the battery terminals to see if they are corroded or loose. it could be that the battery is completely dead or the starter is stuck. if the headlights come on then tap on the starter.
