Wont start/crank

DragonTTK · 01-31-2019, 09:45 PM

I'm having an issue with my camaro hoping i can find some help my car was sitting for about 3 days went to go start it and it was completely dead no power, so i tried to get it jump started got power but didn't crank so then i took battery out and charged it once it was charged put it back in and now i have power but doesn't seem like i have full power my trunk light came on, and tail lights / headlights when locking/unlocking car but the interior had no power and when i tried to start my car wouldn't do nothing trying to figure this out if anyone has any suggestions or what not please let me know thanks.

Edit: New battery solved the problem was a dead cell in old battery.

We are having unusually cold weather here. Highs in the single digits. i have had some weird stuff going on. It didn't want to crank, but it finally did. My HUD is not working. I'm wondering if the cold is messing with a weak battery.

Also i did notice when i put my battery back in the security light was solid and not blinking and checked battery's connections made sure nothing was lose/corroded.

Edit: I haven't tried to jump start since getting battery fully charged as i didn't think i would need to but should i?

Are you sure your battery is 100% charged after charging? My battery was dead, reading 4 volts, and my charger would not charge it on an automatic cycle thinking the battery was dead. I needed to trick it by leaving the charger hooked up on "engine start" mode for a while to get the battery reading about 9 or 10 volts and then it worked in auto mode. Been fine since.
