I've also had problems with the battery going dead. I thought it was because I didn't drive the car enough, but I no longer think that's the problem. Now my car is completely dead. The first thing I did was make sure the battery was charged. Still nothing. No lights or anything when I insert the key. Everything seems to be completely dead. I would call AAA to jump start it, but it's clear it's not just a battery problem. My best guess is that a critical sensor is offline preventing anything from working.


Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. At this point I'm ready to have it towed to a shop.


Thanks,

  • When AAA arrived and "jumped" the car, did it start?
  • What is the date of the battery?
  • What color case does the battery have, black or white?
  • Do you have a battery tender in use, during the dormant times it's not driven?
  • The systems are very sensitive to minor fluctuations in the battery output, creating crazy scenarios, electronically.
A little more details are needed to make a ballpark diagnosis, your initial information is very limited.
