I don't have a voltmeter.
I turned the key today and tried to turn on anything, lights, wipers, radio, and nothing came on.
When I pushed the button for the emergency flashers there was a clicking noise that was continuous while the button was depressed, but when I turned to key to "start" the car, the noise would stop.
No lights come on the dash regularly. If I turned the key on/off enough times for some weird reason I could get some lights to come on. The light that look likes a battery light up (the manual said that was a charging system issue if I remember right) and an yellow arrow (which the manual said was related to manual transmission, and I have an automatic)
I tried to jump it today, and it didn't work. I think that might be that we didn't give the battery long enough to recharge. I tried to tell the guy who was helping me that he was doing it wrong, but he wouldn't listen. We'll try again tomorrow, but I'm worried it's a bigger problem.
