You need to be a little more patient, and a little more descriptive. You have a 5 speed and it won't start. Ok, does the starter crank and the engine just doesn't fire? Is there no starter?

From just your one post, I have to assume that you turn on the key, everything is normal, and then you turn to "start" and nothing happens. So it sounds like the starter system is not initiating. That could be a bunch of things. You don't have the clutch in all the way, your key switch quit, your starter quit, your starter solenoid quit, your computer quit, there just isn't enough information to tell.

When you turn your key right before the turn over part, do your guages and lights come on. My battery just went out on my jeep, did the same thing till I jumped her.

When you turn to "start" and you hear a click, can you identify that click? Is it the starter solenoid? If you can verify that the solenoid is clicking, then the problem more then likely exists in the starter itself. Your solenoid is probably not closing all of the way and not completing the circuit for the starter motor. Component failure; have it towed to the dealer and repaired under waranty. Better yet, call the dealer, say "my car won't start. It's under waranty. Come get it and fix it" And then stop worrying about it.

It would be good to know if the "click" you are hearing is from the solenoid down at the starter OR the CRNK relay in the underhood fuseblock.

Check the following fuses:
10A Backup fuse (Underhood Fuseblock)
10 HVAC/ IP IGN fuse (iBCM/ main interior fuse block accessed via hatch on RH side of center console)

Is the "Security" warning lamp on the IP (small car with padlock through it) ON or "flashing" by any chance??

yes the security is going off even when the car is unlocked ... then i would lock it and the car would unlock itself and leave the sensor on...

Well that would have been good to know before! If your vehicles security light is on even after you have unlocked the car and turned on the key, then your car isn't going to start. The starter system is locked out. The car thinks its being stolen. Check the fuses that WOP listed.

You probably got some water in the started motor, and it is shorting when you try to start it. This would cause the fuse to get hot and the starter not to turn.

One time at work, let an electric forklift get wet, then would not move. After it dried off, pushed it some with another forklift, it came back to life.

Try disconnecting the battery for few minutes to reset the security sys.

Don't "wash" the electric parts of the engine
