i found the problem and it worked-i charged the battery up-put it back in car-next step-put cables back on battery for 6 minutes,then take positive cable off,then negative off,then tough the end together for 30 seconds- then put back on battery-check if dash lights come on-mine did- and it started up--good luck,if dont work charge battery up and try again
