Is the car totally dead?
Recently, my batt died. Odd situation, it metered 14V but not cranking amps. What I suspect happened was the cables running into my hatch had all deterioated. The rear defrost/ wiper etc had all shorted out on each other. I'd check the black rubber hose connecting the trunk lid to the rest of the car. This is becoming common in wagon, and a few sedans have had the same problem.
Just something to check out if the other tests don't yeild any answers.
