Start by checking the voltage on the battery before looking at other issues. Use your multimeter on the connections under the hood in the passenger side of the engine bay. You should be reading over 12V. If not, it's time to swap it out. The battery is in the trunk under the trunk panel on the right and or passenger side of the vehicle.
