Hello,

This sounds like your vehicle's battery is completely sulfated and needs to be replaced. Can you do us a favor and take a voltage reading across the two terminals on the battery with a Digital Multi-meter (DMM) for us. Here is a link below if you are unfamiliar with how a DMM works.

Please get back to us with what you find out and we will go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
