Ok so I’m having a strange issue with my car 11 GS 6m I parked the car back in November for the winter and put a tender on the battery about a month ago I installed a new hu with back up camera. Turned the car on (but did not start ) to test everything and everything worked as it should this passed weekend I went to start the car and it would not start
when I press the button it takes like 5 or 6 seconds and all the lights and radio come on as normal but the security light is on solid and all the service light chime on but when I press it again to start everything goes black
battery is good
checked all fuses
is there anything in the radio area I could of bumped I plan on taking the radio back out tomorrow

any help would be great
I suspect your battery is bad, I suggest you pull it and have it tested, or just try a new one.
I got it June of 21 and always have a tender on it but will get it checked
Yeah, but you said you parked the car in November but put the tender on it about a month ago, so that's 4 months without a tender, that's more than enough time to kill your battery, and usually once they're fully drained, they're pretty much toast.
My bad the tender was on all winter long
I’ll check the starter wiring connections as well
Well ok, then what I'd suggest is to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes, then hook it up again, sometimes these cars can get little electrical glitches and doing this can reset things to address them. If you do this while you're there I suggest you clean the battery posts while you're at it. Doing this, you'll loose all your presets on your radio so you'll have to reset them plus you'll have to reindex your windows.
