986S won't start. Any suggestions?

2003 S, just under 50k miles. Outside temp was probably about 25F-30F.

Went to start it up this afternoon and it won't turn over.

Everything electrical in the cabin flickers making me think it's an electrical short (additionally, the power driver's seat and the interior ambient dome LED have been flaky in the last few months). Everything in the cabin still has power, keyless entry works, trunk release, radio, etc. Turning the key to start position is when everything starts flickering. The normal key insertion tests seem to happen without any problem (oil, dash lights, etc). I hear a loud clicking but I believe it's the speakers popping on and off and not the starter. This is the first time I've had trouble starting the car. It was driven probably 15 hours prior with no signs of any problems.

I haven't tried jumping it, was hoping maybe someone had some insight into this.
