So what can I do to get it started? We have 2 different chargers that only make the lights blink but not start. Do I need to take the battery out and take it somewhere to charge. It's in my garage front in,so not easy to get anything else close to it.

Most modern chargers wont charge a completly dead battery. If you have another battery that has a charge you can conecct it to the dead battery with jumper cables. that will allow the charger to see voltage and begin charging the battery.

Take the battery out and then take it to your favorite auto retailer for a free charge and load test. Easy peasy. New batteries these days are hit or miss. Nothing is like the good ole days. Friend of mine owns a dealership in Michigan and his take is that all the good stuff for battery manufacturing is being used up on EV batteries/technolgies.
