All Electronics Dead

Hey all

first things first I am a car enthusiast but not very mechanically minded. Actually not at all. So bear with me here

I went out to start my car (about 2 Months ago) and it just wouldnt start. The more i tried (only 3 times) the car would produce less and less of a result as in it would get as far into turning over to actually start. Now I wasn't able to have anyone look at it because i have Uni, full time work at 50+ hours a week and organising a wedding. Now the wedding is done and i finally got around to removing the battery and attempting to charge it. The charger thingy I bought says its full. My father in law also attempted to jump start it with one of those battery kick start things but also to no avail.

I am left with getting someone professionally to fix it but I was wondering if there is anything I have missed and also if anyone else has had this problem and if so how much did it cost to fix? I really want to get my baby back on the road so money isnt an issue but not being mechanically minded I would like to know what im in for.

Thanks for your help and sorry I sound like a useless pratt (cause i probably am)

Your best bet is to go out and get a new battery regardless of what your battery charger says. It has been two months since your original battery died and in most cases once this happens the battery is more than likely cactus.

If the new battery doesn't work then seek professional help.

Trying to start the car over and over will destroy the windings in the starter motor. If it doesnt turn over with the new battery, make sure the starter gets power. If it does you may have cooked the starter windings.

The initial reason for the trouble starting the car may be harder to diagnose. If you can check the error codes (a quick search will help) you may find the Crank sensor has failed as this is a fairly common problem. Do you hear the fuel pump prime?

Good luck, if you get out of your depth there will be someone who can recommend a local workshop able to help. (easier if you put your location in your profile.)

I can hear the line prime ok (according to the father in law) and I only tried to start it 3 times. After that it's just been sitting there.

I'm on the central coast of nsw so anyone who can help in the area you know of will be greatly appreciated.

Did you get a new battery??

I think battery stores can test your old one to check if it is faulty.
