Default Help Me... Im lost! Or just new to the family

Well this is tough, just got a SC400 and Im loving it. Well I was that is untill it wouldnt start. I have had it for like a month or so and everything has beed fine but for like the past week its has been acting up. kinda like the battery was dead or something, so i would get a jump and it fired right up. Also i had noticed that the little yellow light in the top left of the dash cluster came on from time to time (i think its the alternator) so i would let my car run for an extra few min before turning off the car if the light had been on while i was driving (charge the battery). Then Tonight I went out to dinner and then out to the car and it wouldnt start!! There was nothing, not even a clicking noise. Nothing had happened between the time i started it to go to dinner and leaving after dinner. So here i am mystified, I tried to jump it with NO response. Let it charge and still nothing, although all of my internal electronics appeared to be running fine. the only thing that i noticed before i left it was that the door locks did not work when i pressed the button, however they worked fine when i parked the car there..... Weird!!! But anyway I was hoping that someone here might be able to shed a little light on what might be up with my car or what i can do to get the car running so that i can avoid having to shell out an arm and a leg for a TOW because the car is far from my area.

Just a note i have loked through a few of the pages here before posting but didnt find anything that covered my situation so I figured why not ask.

Id like to thank any of you that help in advance and any advice or assistance will really make my day. Thank you!!!

if the light looks like a bird cage or a little carousel(however you look at it) it is your radiator sensor
