It sounds as if the battery has gone dead or has been completely drained. Having set a voltmeter to the 10-20 volt range, I'd put the voltmeter's probes on the battery posts (red to positive post; black to negative post). A healthy battery should give a reading of 12.4-12.6 volts. A reading of 11-12 volts would move me to put the battery on a charger. A reading below 11 volts would move me to replace the battery: a cell has died. No amount of re-charging will revive a dead cell. If you have a fully-charged battery, install it, and see if the car starts. If it does, and if the alternator is putting out 14-14.5 volts, the removed battery likely is the problem, especially if it is five or more years old. Hope this helps. Yours faithfully, Spook Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
