Dead battery or bad connection?
:shocked:

 

[coz]

Agree

Dead battery, bad battery, corroded terminals/ connections, loose connections.

 

[bmccaffrey]

Yes sir
Agree with all

 

[Chupaca]

All of the above....

Don't know year and model or what's been added. Dead battery start checking connections then try a jump. If using the car do not turn it on. If she start you'll have the answer. .:thumbup:

You have been bitten by the cursed Canadian engineering lack of current from the battery. Most batteries are unreliable after three years. Here in the heat of the Desert, only 2. Give the old girl a new batterie and she will have a smile on her face for ya!

Yup! :thumbup:
Battery... Check the cables for tightness, and lack of corrosion; then load-test your battery.! :thumbup:

:welcome:

Any luck with the suggestions? We are eager to hear back from you.

Just as an update. It was the battery being dead. took it in and it tested at 7 volts. Stealership wanted 158 for a new one. Amazon only wanted 70. Got it, put it in...been raining since.

Something that bit me with an intermittent misfire issue, be sure to check the negative cable anchor point under the seat. If that connection is not super tight it will cause problems.
