i did not start up my car for about 3 weeks could not get to it because of the snow ,and now i did try starting using cables and still would not start says fob not detected but the light do come on
is the battery dead or there is still a chance of starting it?
what is the best way?

it should have started with cables. If the battery is shorted out, it will not start with cables. Put in a battery tender and see if it will charge.

Probably not enough juice for the car to detect the fob. Very common when the battery is weak/dead.

Yes, there's a chance it will start. But I bet the battery will need to be charged before it will jump-start.

I had a dead battery in a rental Toyota... it took about a half-hour of charging before it had enough juice to jump-start.

But you might just go ahead and buy a new battery... once the OEM battery dies, it never fully recovers.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to replace the battery. Just make sure it's well-charged. And be sure you don't lose that special cone-shaped nut on the terminal clamp.

It's time for a new battery. It's not worth the hassle of messing with the old one.

I just had a issue with a NEW battery.Went dead in 12 days and would not turn over with a jump box.Had to charge the battery some.

12 volts with the car off is a really good voltage and should start. I have found that 11.6 is the minimum to start the C6.
