Be aware that leaving your lights, radio on for any great length of time, will kill that battery pretty quick. Also, leaving a gps/phone etc. plugged into the cig lighter overnight won't help much either.

Lucky. I think this is the thread you were talking. Would maybe do the OP good to read over it.

I just threw that out there because the battery was replaced and we don't seem to know if it was jump started or not. So we don't know the quality of the battery Install. It's cheaper to make a few electrical checks before replacing the starter.

Try starting it in neutral, turn the key to start position and wiggle the shifter.
