 Dead battery is a very likely culprit. But have you tried jump-starting? I=
f so, and it starts, what does the ammeter (or voltmeter, whatever you have=
) show? Can you shut it off after a few minutes and then restart? Perhaps s=
ome light was left on, draining the battery? Alternatively, a major cable c=
onnection finally got dirty enough to prevent any current flow (happens a l=
ot).

Or the battery failed. :( (It can happen.)

at.   This morning the car is completely DEAD =E2=80=A6 even the lights do =
not work.  I have to think =E2=80=9Cbad battery=E2=80=9D. but to happen so =
sudden? =20


Any Ideas?
