Shorted battery needs longer charge. Replace battery at Advance or Auto Zone or Walmart. No charge loss test. Free installation. Keep it running until you get there.
Ya need a load test done for free at most parts stores, that will tell you if your battery is bad and or your alternator. inbyour case it seams to be a battery, as the alternator can keep a cars fuel pump going and lights ect after battery has been jumped to start the engine.
I would have my battery tested at a shop they usually can test them for free it might just need be charged up real good or might just be dead if it had been sitting for a long time with a dead battery could be toast
Sounds like the battery is no good (not holding a charge)
I actually put a a new battery in afterwards, however, the car wont start. It is completely dead. The FOB or push buttons were not responsive. So I put the old battery back in since the new battery did not help. Does my dealer have to reset my computer system. Is it possible the car was immobilized?
Make sure that you clean the inside of the battery cable clamps thoroughly using sandpaper or a pipe cleaner before installing them to the battery.
Do the headlights/wipers/heater fan all work as normal? If they don't work either, then you could have a blown fusible link.
Check that you are pushing down hard enough on the brake pedal. My wife's car did this after we changed the battery and the brake pedal was very stiff. Remember that you have to push on the pedal to start the car. Normally, it sinks deep enough to make contact with whatever switch it has to complete the circuit. I found I had to push really hard, but then it worked.
This could be a major starter problem. I just had this happen and my ES350 2007 had to have a complete new starter installed. Vehicle is 11 years old and has only 53,000 miles. Dealership installed new starter and working great. Don’t drive your vehicle if the starter is not working correctely..starts sometimes then stops working altogether. Starter could stop working while driving and vehicle goes totally dead. You have no power steering no nothing very dangerous if driving with a bad starter. Get it towed to dealership and repaired ASAP!
