1. If you can jump start the truck to get it started but not start it with the current battery then you battery is most likely bad and needs to be replaced. (See 2 also).

The problem is the battery is most likely not producing the CCA (cold cranking amps) and CA (cranking amps) that it is supposed to and did when new .( These CCA/CA ratings are listed on the battery label.) In that event you will never be able to start the vehicle.

A basic voltmeter and basic load tester won't tell you if the battery is failing to produce the required CA / CCA to get the vehicle started. Both can indicate your battery is quite passable and OK until a CA/CCA tester is applied and will show the CA/CCA the battery is actually producing which in a failing battery will be well below spec.

2. You should also disconnect the battery cables and clean the battery terminals and cable clamps. If dirty you can get very poor current flow from the existing battery. As a first step check these connections and clean them and eliminate dirty terminals as the cause of your power issue before replacing the battery as suggested.

07 Buick Rendezvous. I left the key on and drained the battery. It easily jump started. Now the thermostat gauge on the dash is not working? When I got home I noticed the fans were still running. ...

07 is likely to be fully computerised and digital and just as likely leaving it switched on until the battery ran down has confused the management system as a faulty sensor - the fans and temperature gauge likely driven by computer from data gathered by the computer(s) from the various sensors... Likely it needs a clever person with a laptop and the right software to restore the management default settings. I might be wrong but that is still the best starting point.

What temp should a/c be in 1995 chev on max

Hard to say.
Under normal conditions, vent temp should be about 20 or 25 degrees less than outside air temp.
So if outside air temp is 90 degrees and the engine is at idle speed, vent temp would be around 65 or 70. On the road the vent temp could be less than 60 degrees.
If outside air temp is 70 degrees vent temp will be around 40 - 50.

My 2003 Caravan has a hard time starting sometimes. Exspecially after it sits for a while. The Ambient Tempature sensor says its 48 degrees when its 70 degrees. Also The tempeture gauge shows that its...

if your talking about the over head temp reading that is an entirely different system.the temps you show at 178,169,173 are all below what they should be,it should have a 195 degree thermostat in that engine,where did you get those temps,if you got them from the dash you should change the temperature sending unit.
re-flashing a computer is done if Chrysler found problems in vehicles and would download the new info to the computer to correct them,

Battery went dead in 19 degree temp. Jump started

the only way to test a battery is do whats called a "drop test" on it they hook up a tool that puts a very heavy load onto the battery and if it holds its volts for 30 seconds its a good one,,,kind of kill it or cure it! however if the battery go's flat on you can you still open your car? and the radio coad and alarm coad will be lost, so dont just unhook the battery with out powering the car with another battery first,,,use jump leads to do this,

Air conditioner in 1999 mercury tracer won't work. It's not the compressor nor does it have a leak. what could be the problem?

the tracer is the same as the ESCORT, right?? TRY THIS--I WORK ON PLENTY OF ESCORTS--LOOK UNDER THE AIR CLEANER/CONE ASSEMBLY--THERE WILL BE A BLACK METAL BOX(FULL OF RELAYS) ONE OF WHICH IS THE A/C RELAY--TRY TAPPING ON IT WITH A LONG SCREWDRIVER OR SOMETHING SIMILAR WHILE U HAVE THE A/C ON. IF THE A/C SUDDENLY STARTS WORKING U NEED TO GET A NEW RELAY BOX(I THINK ITS CALLED A GEM MODULE) i do have a question- does the blower motor work?? how do u know the compressor is good??do you have 12 volts going to it??? this relay box is pretty common to go bad--u have to remove the air cleaner in order to get to it.get back to me.

Onboard temp gauge

you need to go to the parts house and purchase an ambient temperature sensor. that is the sensor that tells the car what the outside temp. is. I hope that helps you out.

Onboard Temp gauge

This probably occurs when you start up after the engine has been off for a few hours. What is happening is that the module is taking a new temp reading however heat from the radiator is causing the sensor to read a warmer value than it really is. I suggest that you relocate the temp sensor further away from the radiator and closer to the grill opening in order to read actual ambient temp (approx 6" should work).
