Your local autoparts store would be able to check your electrical system including battery, alternator and starter. For free.

No mention of any attempts at a jumpstart (following the directions in the Owner Manual).
Donbrew.....can't agree with you more!!! Seems like a lot of people on this forum throw money into parts before using some personal logic.

Try re-setting computer by a reader or lifting pos. Battery lead for about a minute, this will reset any faults. Car would'nt start, no clicking sounds after trying to remote start, and i had charged the battery, after many attempts to start it i reset computer and away it went!

CAUTION:::NEVER try a battery disconnect/reset by removing the POS cable first. You're just risking a battery arc or surge problem. Possible electrical damage or worst case a battery explosion.

Disconnect the NEG side at the battery first.

Oh ROCKIE, you're a person blessed with unusually good luck.

Disconnecting the Positive cable on the battery invites the chance of damaging or destroying electrical components when you reconnect it.

To reset a vehicle's ECM, you should disconnect the Negative battery cable for a minimum of five minutes.

The ONLY time you should disconnect the Positive cable is after you've first disconnected the Negative cable.
