2003 with new battery won't start 2 days later

Asked by Cathy Jan 08, 2018 at 11:23 AM about the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire GT

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car was running fine until last week's cold spell killed the battery. Replaced
dead battery and car was fine for 2 days, but now car won't start. Had it
boosted, mechanic checked everything is fine. 2 days later again and same
thing. Dash lights come up. When I turn the key all dash lights go dead, no
crank, no engine turn, nothing. Totally dead. Removing the key and putting it
back in doesn't help - lights do not come up. Removing the key and trying
after about 10 minutes results in the routine described above again. Is the
anti theft at work here? If yes, how I do I get around this problem? Much
appreciate expert opinion.
