I've been gone for 3 weeks and left my old mazda 626 manual trans out in the sun. When I came back it wouldn't start even when I jump it. The alarm turns on when I do jump it. I also dont hear the clicking noise people usually hear when the battery goes dead. Is this a battery problem or something else? Thanks

Charge up the battery read its open voltage must be atleast 12.4volts or better-Load test it in 10secs if it doesn't maintain 9.6volts within that time-get a new one.

Battery checks out-double check its connections thne attempt ot start the Maz
