Well some items on the car like battery, tires, brakes, etc. can fall under the Wear and Tear Terms...

It will also depend on the dealer.

Just what I said, not the same as the car warranty. Under 24 mths and the car depending on the month that was bought could be close. Hopefully he get it replace.

I think the reason you cant jump it because of

A: the battery is dead (which is a given)

B: it is so dead it is not helping the other car out with the jump. You need someone to be in the other car reving up ever so slightly, like to around 2k if not barely higher then trying to crank yours. If I was a gamblin man I would bet on that that it will crank then. Once cranked if it does, let it run for a long long time to see if it will hold a charge from the alternator. I am thinking since you dont run it long enough to charge up what you take from the battery on the initial start you have drained it unknowingly.


Try B and report back. I have had to do this more times then I got fingers and toes to get a car to start.

A battery that has been badly discharged may not come back. Have you left the Tender on the car for 24 hours? It should be a low amp charger (about 1-1.5a) which, if the battery will take a charge, should get it up to 100% in a 12-24 hours. I have a Batter Tender brand trickle that I use on a motorcycle in the winter, and have also used it on cars that have sat (or had interior lights left on for a few days which nukes the battery nicely

Agreed on a deep discharge jump: typically can't just let it idle (unless it happens to have a really strong alternator). Load the car a bit to provide more jumping juice and see if that helps.

I should have mentioned while jumping the car there is someone in the other car revving it to 3,000 RPM or so.

The charger is 1.25 Amps. I hooked it up again last night after unsuccessfully trying to jump it again after getting back home.

I learned about this when I bought mine. There is an extended storage switch that could save you the headache. Find this switch in your fuse box and pull it out about 1/4 of an inch when it is garaged.

Don't take this the wrong way but letting such a car just sit is blasphemes IMHO

Battery tender showed 100% charged and my father brought over his HD truck and it started right away. Driver side window will not roll up though.

Remove the battery and take it to most any auto parts store and have them test/charge it. If it is good, you are back on the road again in an hour. If it is bad, then take it to the dealer, but the kicker is, it may have to be in the car and towed back to the dealer. I tried taking just the battery back for warranty to a GM dealer and was told that I needed to have my vehicle towed in, so they could check the charging system to find what was at fault. Just the clock and preset memory will kill a battery cell in time. Especially when the summer heat comes into play too.

Default Charge It!

A battery "tender" is meant to keep a charged battery topped up with a trickle charge. You may need a full charge from a real battery charger. I have had a perfectly good battery run out of juice from sitting idle for a few weeks. After a few hours charge...bingo! it starts and runs with no further problems.

Try that before buying a new battery.

Is there a window reset? When I open the door in drops down the normal inch or so...but it doesn't go back up when the door is closed.
