[QUOTE="Creedence85, post: 219078, member: 4346"] Sound like a dead battery again, but could also be the starter or the steering column lock, so would hesitate to replace the battery on spec without testing. If you have a multimeter and can you see how many volts the battery has? If it has a shorted cell it will be well below 12V. Most reputable shops and auto parts stores should be able to test a battery before selling you a new one, so if you can remove the battery you can can have it tested. Do you have a battery charger or battery maintainer with a charge mode? If so, charge the battery, disconnect the charger for about 10 mins, and if you have less than 12-6-12.8 volts the battery is not taking a charge. After sitting for 24 hours, the battery should still be in the 12.6-12.8 range so if significantly less, it's not holding a charge. [/QUOTE]
