Step one. Call the store and tell them you know it's there, it has a mechanical failure and you will move it as soon as you can. that will stop them from assuming it's been abandoned there. Then call a tow truck, meet them at the scene and ask them to tow it to your mechanic to have it checked and fixed. Resist the urge to tow it home, because then you will be paying for two tows, one to get it home and another to get it in to be fixed after you realize you can't get it fixed in your driveway.

It does indeed sound like your battery has failed, but you may need to get your alarm reset after getting a good battery in there. Amateur jump starting, by the way, is never a good idea. Unless certain procedures are followed exactly you can damage very expensive computers in vehicles.

DMV DRIVING TEST! help?

Sounds like the battery is incredibly dead. You might need a new one.

It could be the starter. Hard to say. You could try to jump it, if it doesnt jump, it could be the starter.

New battery, you might be able to jump the old one if you put the jumper cable ground on an engine ground on the dead vehicle.

what is the difference between a reach and counterbalnce forklift vehicle?

It's probably the starter. I had an old POS Jetta that used to do that to me, but I couldn't afford a new one (car or starter), so I used to bang on the starter with a brass drift and then it would start. The car was pretty quirky. I don't know as though your alarm would go off if your battery was that dead though, but it may need a good charge as well. Try banging on the starter (not too hard though) maybe it will at least get you home! Good luck.

Sounds like a battery and alarm problem. Some of the areas that cause problems when jump starting a car are:
1. Cheap jumper cables
2. Dirty or loose battery connections
3. Bad connection on the jumper cables.
4. VERY bad battery

Why do most foreign countries drive on the opposite side of the road?


You said that the car had started once so number 4 is out. Grab the cables on your battery and make sure they are tight. If you can twist or move them they are loose. If you have some tools I would remove the cables and using a battery terminal cleaner or a wire brush I would clean the terminals they should be shiny.

Why dont both tires spin?


Before hooking up the jumper cables turn on the parking lights of the dead car. The lights should be dim or off if the battery is drained. When you have the cables connected correctly the lights will get bright. Leave the cables on for a while with the good car running. This will give the battery time to charge.

alternative fuel information?


Often alarms have a senor which sets them off when the battery is low or being disconnected. Once the battery has some charge in it you should be able to turn it off with your remote.
