Hello, I'm Danny.

It sounds like you might have a drained battery. Here are a few battery tutorials for you to view:

If you remove the battery from your car and take it to your local auto parts store they will charge it and test for free. Let us know what happens. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
