We bought the booster pack a year ago, charged it to full like it told us to. It has been in our vehicle since then and never used. When we went to use it it was dead, so we brought it in to charge. We left it plugged in for a couple hours the light saying it was working came on, but when we checked the charge light it never moved. We left it plugged in over night the power plug heated up but still no charge. Why wort it charge?
Those things are like a little garden tractor battery inside
If it went dead over time and got frozen the battery may
be bad ,whey don't seem to do well unless used often.
SOURCE: Charging Light On After Replacing Alternator/Battery1999Windstar
Hi, I can't tell you exactly what is wrong because there is too much involved at this point, what with 2 shops working with it, but I can give you some advise on what else to check. On the alternators and the wiring that supports them a small volt charge is taken off one of the slip rings, where the brushes ride, for the purpose of turning out the light. As I remember, this is a yellow wire that runs back to the dash.
To the alternator, it would be one of the wires that plug into the side of the alternator case.

try putting it on a battry charger over night . when boosting the newer jimmy and car you need to make sure you have a very good constion . they will full you sometime and look at your fueses insde and out ok have a good day
SOURCE: Instrument panel went dead
Checked Every fuse in the fuse box (no small task).This includes #4 - Power point Instrument Panel, #14 - Day time running lamps (auto lamps doesn't work nor does auto lock), #27 - ignition switch run feed, #35 - Instrument Cluster, #41 - Instrument Cluster, #42 - Delayed Accessory, #45 - Ignition switch run/start feed, #102 - Door locks body security module, #103 - Ignition switch, #110 - Ignition switch, & #116 - Ignition switch. But I also check all other ones as well, they all register OK. AC panel & radio work. Turn signals work. Mileage does not work, trip computer does. So, basically, everything works except auto head-lights, auto locks, and the dash cluster (no MPH, RPM, mileage display, Fuel, Temp, Tran Temp, and Oil Pressure).
SOURCE: 1997 Cirrus battery went dead. The car ran fine
These cars are known for having engine related electrical problems that can be difficult to track down. One dead sensor is sufficient to prevent start up .
It is possible that your problem had nothing to do with the jump start or battery replacement.
Without a full diagnosis anyone not able to test the vehicle will be guessing.
One thing I would do is to check your fuse panels for all engine related fuses such as fuel pump, ignition and fuel injection to ensure these fuses are sound.
Check all visible wiring carefully including your battery connections. Carefully disconnect and then re-connect the battery at both terminals.
Your best option is to have the car towed to a reputable repairer that is familiar with these cars so he can run a full check and isolate the problem.
Whether you have blown something in the course of jump starting the car is unknown.
In future, when jump starting these older vehicles always turn the headlights on and do not turn them off again whilst the vehicle is running until after the spare battery used for the jump start has been fully disconnected. Everything else should be off.
Testimonial: "Thank you very much for your quick and knowledgeable response. I knew I would end up taking it to the shop but I was hoping for that "magic bullet."
There are some possibilities which you
will have to check in this case:--
1) First of all check the power and
voltage to the battery. With meter it will show exact 12 volt if the
battery is charged. If the voltage is less get the battery charged at local
auto repair shop. If the battery is internally drained and not getting charged
then its time to replace the battery.
2) When you crank the car do you see
spark coming at the spark plug? If no then its time to check the spark plugs
and coil pack. If the spark plugs are not worn out and looks new then its time
to check coil pack. The spark plug gets power to spark from coil pack.
3) The other thing to check in this case
is the starter solenoid of the car. If the battery is charged and you start the
car then it gives power to the starter to start the car. But if starter is
faulty or not connected properly then car will not start.
4) The other thing to check in this case
is fuel in the car. If there is fuel in the car then check the blockages in the
fuel pump if the fuel pump looks proper then check the fuel filter above the
fuel pump.
5) If all the above possibilities
mentioned above checked out OK/perfect then it's a electrical issue and
the wiring's in the car needs to be checked. The car gets
power from the battery to get started. so the wires from battery needs to be
checked one by one.
