You could also very easily get your battery load tested and the charging system checked at an auto parts store to see if the battery or alternator are bad. SRS light could be a code fault or just too much weight on the passenger seat. Battery normally wouldn't go dead just from sitting unless it has sat for a very long time. Battery or charging system might have a problem or there is a battery drain and you can find methods for locating a battery drain online.

Srs stands for supplemental restraint system. it is for seatbelts and airbags. there are videos on youtube on how to reset the light or you can take it to a honda dealer and have them scan the car to see if there is an actual problem or not. These codes can not be checked or cleared by you average scanners like the ones used at parts stores. it is probably nothing but better safe then sorry.

Battery wont charge, battery/ABS/SRS/BRAKE lights come on while driving and flicker. voltage increases to dash lights/fan speed/headlights periodically.

Get a volt meter, start your car and see how many volts your car is producing while running. Should be around 14 volts. May want to watch the meter for a while since your electric seems to fluctuate. Most voltage regulators are internal of your alternator. If you are getting a lot more or less than 14 volts while running, replace the alternator. If it is not charging, voltage will drop as vehicle runs, until battery is dead.

SRS light came on on dash. windshield wipers are sluggish, radio stopped, no lights, power windows are slow. Jerks when you change gears. I've turned it off and now won't start. I don't know what the SRS...

Your describing what happenes when a car runs out of battery power and your altenator has failed you. On your dash lights, has a battery symbol light appeared? An easy way to find out if your altenator has kicked the bucket is to hook up a voltage meter and see if you have 14.5 volts at your battery while the engine is running. But before you do that, you need to get your battery charged. Once you have that taken care of any auto parts store can do a free test with a battery tester to find out what is the cause of your electrical issue. For your SRS light it maybe due to your battery running dead or something else, You will need a scanner for that and again an auto parts store should be able to pull the code. Hope this helps you out.

The light work on the jeep the horn works, I put the vechicle in park turn the key and it wont start, The the key is turn it make a clicking sound

this sounds like a low battery problem ... the horn and lights do not take much energy to turn on, but starting the engine takes a lot of power. Try jumping the Jeep with another car, or a battery jump pack (available at any auto-parts store). If the engine kicks over and starts, then leave your Jeep running in park for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of running, turn the Jeep off and then try to start it again with no jump -- if it starts, you had a low battery, but the issue is probably solved (running the engine recharges the battery). If, after you have had the car running for 15 minutes and turn it off, it does not start on its own, you probably need a new battery (and you should have your electrical system checked as you might have a bad alternator that is not charging your battery). Sears Auto Canter has a great piece of equipment that can test your battery, and your entire electrical system (including the alternator) in just a few minutes. I recommend that you take your Jeep to a Sears Auto Center and have it checked, whether or not the jump worked because their system can make sure that there is not a slow drain on the battery (due to a loose connection or something like that) which would cause you to have the same problem again.

CAR WON,T START, TILL I GET A BOOST .DASH BOARD SAY SRS

SRS is your safety restraint system for your airbags and so on. If your having to jump start your car I would look into the alternator or battery. It is normal for the srs light to come on when you first regain power. If it is staying on though you may be having an issue with the safety system.

Endeaver srs light is on after replacing battery how can I reset also the passenger seatbelt light stays on

The light is on because the SRS computer detected excessively low voltage, likely right before your battery failed/was replaced.
To clear the light you will need to take it to a dealer or a repair shop with a Mitsubishi-compatible SRS scantool.

This happens so frequently, I never charge customers for clearing SRS lights that are related to battery changes (code will be IG low voltage A and B).

I have a 1990 MB 190 E Class. My SRS light on the dashboard turned on and my car won't start at all. HELP PLEASE!!!

that click is your starter solenoid. there is not enough voltage to run the starter. go ahead and jump start the car and test your alternator and battery to see why the battery is low on voltage.

Battary light on , engine cut off car won't crank

sounds like it's your alternator, your alternator charges your battery and runs car once it is started. if you have a bad alternator your battery light will come on, and shortly after your vehicle will die, unable to restart without a jump. I would take your battery to autozone or an auto shop to have your battery and alternator tested.
