I would imagine that your battery discharged, by itself or a dome light
or something left on while you were away.

When the batteries go this dead, connecting the jumper cables will only
work after your battery is allowed to charge for some time.

Good luck

With GOOD cables you wont have the I/R drop and it will crank. Even if the
cables are light, the problem vehicle WILL be able to
see the lights cone on, the domelight work, the dash light up, the
headlights work.......
It's NOT the battery in this case....

Yes, a dead battery can cause those sympthoms. Sometimes I have found
that by disconnecting the dead battery completely and conecting the
jumper wires to the wire terminals you get the car back to life. Be
careful not to run the engine with this hookup because you could cause
damage to your car.

Good luck,

Once again, DOESNT MATTER. The car would jumpstart or at least light up when
jumpered.

Blum, can you post when you find your problem? I am really interested
in knowing what the cause of your problem was.

Good luck!
