Hi Paul,

Still sounds like a dead battery to me. Because you previously had to
jump start the battery, you know there is a problem with retaining a
charge or a charging problem. Just because you tried a boost doesn't
mean the proper starting current will be there. If the battery is too
far gone it acts like a sponge. Try charging the battery out of the car
and then test it.
Good luck, it usually turns out to be something easily solved with more
money.
