Hi guys!

So, as some of you might know, since I posted about it here, I needed a new a/c blower motor for my car. Till I got to installing it, the car had been sitting for a week. After installing it I drove a freshly cooling car down to the corner store to get a drink. Ever since then it's been sitting in the parking lot as I have been in a 2 and a half week trip. So it's been about 4 weeks in total the car has been sitting minus that short trip to the corner store.
Went to start her today and take her for a spin and came to find out my beloved Crossfire was dead at the scene.
My resuscitation process consisted of a jump start, which didn't help either.
Before the jump, turning the key would not light up the dash, the automatic doors didn't work, the headlights wouldn't come on and interior lights were not responsive when I opened the doors.
During the jump, the radio came on as well as the a/c blower and the interior lights as well. But when turning the key all the way, I only heard a "click, click clic," but it would not crank over.

I really hope it's nothing major. I should probably mention that I had the computer relay soldered as per forum instructions a few years back and when I bought my car in 2011 I also replaced the acting up crankshafts sensor.

I would immediately suspect the batteries but wouldn't even a bad batteries still come back to life momentarily during the jump start?

Hope it is nothing major! Please help me bring my baby back to life I can't be a day longer without her. It's been almost 4 weeks lol.

Thanks as always for all your help and have a nice weekend!

Check the negative battery cable where it connects to the ground lug at the fender.
Also clean the battery cable ends, and probably replace the battery.

 

Bad connection with the jumper cables? Sometimes you have to allow the cables connected for a bit to slight charge the dead battery before trying to start.

My next step would be to remove the battery, charge and test.

 

The correct way to jump start is to connect the Positive to the battery and negative to a ground on the car, not the battery. When started the alternator should put the charge into the battery. if it dont then chances are the battery is cactus.

 

Yes the negative jumper cable was connected to the fender metal. Also, I had the cable on there for quite some time before cranking and also repositioned the jumpers then tried again after a little bit of time had passed. Battery connector ends looked clean and free of battery fluid. Did not check the state of the negative cable to the fender. Going to do that now then most likely suspect the battery! Thanks for all help folks. It's appreciated!
