When you put the jumper cables on, put the key in the drivers door lock and unlock the door to deactivate the factory alarm.

disconnect negatives on batteries. then put a test lite from negative wire to negative post on battery. must have hood lite bulb out and doors closed. if test lite is on you have a draw. pull one fuse at a time to till lite goes out to narrow it down. good luck mrm

SOUNDS LIKE U HAVE A BAD IGNITION SWITCH. MY EX HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER CAMARO. I EVENTUALLY BOUGHT A KIT FROM PAINLESS: http://www.painlessperformance.com/ THE KIT BYPASSES THE STOCK SOLENOID AND GOES THRU A FORD STARTER SOLENOID. THE JUICE GOING THRU THE WIRING EVENTUALLY DESTROYS THE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSING THE SYSMPTONS UR EXPERIENCING. CHANGE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND INSTALL THE KIT.

SOURCE: it wont start at all and we put jumper cables and

You might want to have then check the alternator. Sometimes an alternator will test ok but once it has been running for a while, the dilinoids (not sure about the spelling), will basically cause a short circuit in the electrical system and the alternator is no longer charging the battery which drains the battery.

06 pontiac grand prix wont start no clicking when you turn the key over even jump starting the battery, has dash lights & radio & parking lights. battery tested good. put a used starter & altinator on

Used parts such as starters and altinators don't last. It might **** but it sounds like you need to buy a new starter,altinator, and battery. Or just start with buying one at a time.

Battery needed a charge, it was jumped with cables hooked up wrong, bought new battery but wont start what is problem

if you connected the jumper leads up wrongly you have most likely put 24 volts into the system instead of 12 volts & damaged all of the electric components including the computer, you will need to consult an auto electrician to sort out the problem.....hope this helps.....cheers

I have a 1999 jeep gc laredo and it wont start replaced the starter and battery but it just click. i also checked all fuses and relays but nothing worked it just clicks

Take a pair of jumper cables,and use the ground side of the jumper cables,and clamp on the negative battery post,and the other end of the negative ground of the jumper cables,to the engine,anywhere that is a good ground,then try and start it,if it starts,then the ground cable on the jeep,is bad,replace it,you might check the connections on the battery post,clean the grey,or black color residue off the battery post,and inside the cable ends to where they shine.This residue acts as a insulator,and will not allow contact.The new battery can have this residue on it,even if it is new.

Will not start even after ajump start lights copme on only when jumper cables are hooked up when the jumper cables are disconnected there is no power at all when the jumper cables are hooked up for about...

Have the alternator and battery checked. Startor may be flat, if it is, hit with a hammer until you get a new one. Recommend calling salvage places or junk yards for parts due to the year.
