hi there,
I parked my car in garage yesterday afternoon and this morning when I got in the car I couldn't start it..everything is off. there is no power at all. dashboard lights are off, cannot turn the key to start the car and none of the light are working. Is this just a dead battery or I have some other serious problems.. I turned all of the light off yesterday before I locked the car and turned it off.

try jumping it with another car or battery it may be a bad battery then have it checked for condition including load test. These guides can help us find out what's going on.

Okay, so to understand exactly what is happening here; the car will crank on the key or it just clicks when turned to crank? I just need to clarify this first, please.

Nothing. It does nothing and there are no lights! Nothing! New battery, connections are clean and tight! Thanks!

First thing is the battery fitted around the correct way, have you tested the battery voltage? Do you have a test light to check for voltage at the fuses? Do you have a multi-meter and do you know how to test for current draw? Do you have voltage at the main starter terminal on the starter?

It is a new battery. I will check for current at those places! Thank you!
