Battery dead

[two40]

I think i left the interior light on and the car being covered I didn't notice it for 4 days. Anyhoo, I went to start the car today and the battery was completely dead. Being scared to jump start it after the episode with the turbo timer I instead replaced my battery with that of my dads.

I had power now but the car would not turn over. It gets to the stage of fuel pump coming on and when you try to turn it over it won't. One thing I did notice is the electronic clock loosing all power when trying to turn it over and the battery warning light stayed on.

The only difference between the battery model numbers was one letter. Could this difference be what's preventing it from turning over?

Thanks

Perhaps the starter motor is dead.

Just a thought.

What was the episode with the turbo timer? I used to jump start my car all the time after not driving it for a few days and after the alarm had worn the battery out...

the repair shop tried to jump my car as the battery was dead and it shorted the timer. for a while there i thought they did the same to the ecu but it turned out to be another problem.

dude buy a new battery

if the clock is starting to go out theres something wrong with battery, the alternator or ur electrics.

so go with the cheap fix first and try a new battery.

if that don't work time to see an auto electrician
