Default Dead Battery, Help!!

Alright this is the 2nd time this has happened. Dead battery, with nothing on. I know many here have complained of similiar problems, what was the resolution. Also, is their any way to jump start this car? I hooked up to another car, and nothing happened. I had power, but the DIC kept telling me that their was no key FOB. Pushed lock/unlock repeatedly, still nothing. Placed the FOB into the glove box, nothing. I slow charged the battery, reading 12 V, and nothing. Don't want to tow the car, but do I have a choice???

Sorry to hear of your problems. Others here have reported the car can be boosted (following all safety percautions of course) but it sounds like you may have some other issues. If you have the time I think a battery charger might be your best bet. Let us know how things work out.

Sorry to hear about that. The car can be jumped. Sometimes when I leave it in a parking garage, the attendants forget to leave it in Reverse. If jumping doesnt work then try getting a battery tender. Good luck.

You might try holding the Accessory button down for 5 seconds. This did it for me when I first got the car and had the same problem as you now have.
