Car wont start...
I went out to the car this morning and it would not start. Partial power to the car : Headlights work, no radio, no other lights, no remote locks. I gave it a couple hours and makes a loud clicking sound when it tries to start (better than the nothing i got earlier) I'm thinking a drain killed the battery. Is there anything special I need to do to jump start it ? Or that I need to be concerned about?
Thanks in advance.
Edit : The real oddball thing is the headlights still work...

Probably the battery died. When they go, it's often without warning.
If you're still on the OEM battery, you might want to start reading up on the Optima Red Top. Many members switched to that one and are happy with it.

Radio lock codes? Got it used, I have no idea what those are. Heh I didn't even know it had them. How do I find that information out?
Edit : Also isn't there some kind of retraining process for the computer when the battery goes dead? Or rather is there a method of driving you need to adhear to while it relearns?

As far as the driving afterwards, I believe there is a relearning process that must occur and you probably should drive "normal" for about 40 minutes or so ... I'm sure others have a better handle on that aspect. Good luck.
