Check your new battery if it is charged up, sounds like something is draining your battery, or your alternator is not charging properly, check your charging system
If you can check battery make sure it's reading 12v if so your starter is probably going bad that's why you have to double the voltage almost to make it turn over
Interesting,this sounds just like no output from the alternator. If the alternator is good then it has to be the cabling or connections to the battery. If you have a multimeter take a reading on the cabling then read what is actually reaching the battery posts.
Sounds like your battery is either flat or wont hold charge. When you start a car ALL the power goes to do that. When you get a jump you are actually using the other cars power as well as yours. Replace your battery.
wont crank or wont start.?? no car starts , if it cant crank. (unless push starter (M/T magic) that is not a trans sensor its the PRN switch. ill answer for, wont CRANK ! it wont crank even with a good battery (charged) or jump started. 1: bad start 2: bad wires to same. so hot wire the starter small wire, the key start line is tiny. cranks. , starter good, no crank starter bad or cables bad. if it cranks hot wired, then the key line is dead. easy, huh?
when u jump it ,, it will show on gauge that its charging ,but it sound like you have a BAD battery! replace it car should fire right up!! when this happens you should have you alternator tested!! just to make sure your charging system is working properely... hope i could help:)
if it starts when you jump it and have a new battery, the altanator is your next step....next time you jump it, leave it run with the lights and accesories on, take off the cables, is it kills the altanator is not doing its job.
Take the car to Sears or another large auto parts store and have them check the condition of the battery and alt. They do the check for free!
Watch what they do and have them explain.
