Check the voltage between (+) and (-) terminals with a digital multimeter. If it is below 11volt, then you have to charge the battery with a smart battery charger, and let the battery to settle for 8 to 12 hours, and recharge it, on EQUALIZING mode. This will take you 12 more hours. This is the only way to salvage a discharged battery. You can jump start with another car, but the life of battery might be shortened. If the voltage is above 11 volts jump start with another car. Remember that a discharged battery must be charged fully with a battery charger. If battery voltage will read 12.65 volt that means that battery is 100% charged, 12.4volts 70% charged and 12.2volts 50% charged. If it is 12volt that means that the battery cannot hold charge and has to be replaced.

    You have another option, forget about it, keep driving and "if ain't broke do not fix". Good Luck.

Low battery charge/ faulty battery, worn starter motor brushes. Try jump start it with another car. If it starts, replace battery. if not, it's your starter motor.

2002 yukon wont start drove it allday yesterday and last night .woke up headed to to work wouldn't start tried jumping it still kno start replace battery and still wont start

Is the starter engaging when you jump start it? You say you replaced the battery, is the cable ends clean? If the starter is engaging you have other problems, if its not then check out the starter/cables. Good luck!

1997 Toyota Camry XLE has an overnight parasitic battery drain-I suspect the factory installed anti theft system. can this be diabled?When I remove - terminal over night and replace in the morning, car...

This should be done with everything turned off and the door closed. with negative battery disconnected. place 12 v test light between the battery terminal and the cable end.(on neg. side) if the light lites up there is a drain. remove one fuse at a time until u see the lite go out. that is the sytem the drain is on. usually glove box light or trunk light or visor light left on or stuck on.

Dim dashboard lights and problem starting

Could be a loose or dirty battery connection, poor battery, or alternator. Check all the cables and connections to your starter. Clean your battery posts. Have your alternator and battery checked. It sounds like you are either running off just the battery or just the alternator. One of them is not right.
