Hey, Gaston!You must tell us what engine you 9-5 has?! The first to do is charge the battery 100%, take off the cables. Next morning try to start the car, if the car starts you may have a parasitic drain or bad battery due to a bad alternator!!!?if the car doesn t start so well or doesn t start at all, you must see first if the engine turns nice without problem, I don t think is that what happens?!But after knowing what engine you car has we can try to help you more!
