Help! ok so here is what happend........about two days ago i was trying to start my car and it wouldn't turn! after about four tries it worked but it only got worst........on my way home i parked in my drive way and chilled for a min(about 15 mins. watching a dvd w/ car off)......then my sister came home and i had to move, well when i went to start my car and it did the same thing but worst! after about six or seven tries (i thought i flooded the engine for sure) the car came on...........the next morning i go out to check my car b4 i take it to the bay and i raise my car and take it on a test drive with no issues. I went back home and started raising the rear and when i try to move the car it died! nothing! nothing! my lights work but nothing else not my dvd player or the screen and when i turn the key the lights just die then come back on! help i need my car!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gas?
what light come on when you try to start it?
if you see an engine light flashing, call your Service Department and ask them what how ever many flashes means, and tell them your trying to get your car there so they can check it out "wink".
good luck sorrry to hear thats happening.

Rep Power: 0 how long did you drive arround or have stuff running with her batt. you need to check your alternator then, cuz even on a brand new batt, if your alt is not working it will drain hella fast, how much stuff you running in your car (ice)you may have over worked the alt.
