check the voltage of the battery at the terminals with a digital volt meter it should be 12.6 volts. if not then charge the battery and let sit with the lights on for about 1 minute, then recheck voltage it should at least 12.6 volts. if not then the battery needs replacing. if you can jump start the car and if runs then check the charging voltage it should be around 14.5 volts if its higher or lower then the alternator may have a problem. if you have proper battery voltage on the first test then you will have to check voltage at the starter. the large wire should have battery voltage without starting and the small wire should have battery voltage only when trying to start the car. if these are good then check the ground for the starter it that is good then the starter is bad.
