Have an '06 that will not start. Tried to enter the car the other day and the door would not open. Changed battery in the fob, still nothing. After getting into the car, it would not start. No click, grunt, nothing. Took car battery to shop. They said battery was low. Car acts like there was no fob present. Any suggestions?

You should get lots of replies here to replace the car battery, and I echo that. The electrical systems on CAN configured cars require a threshold voltage, around 11.8v. at that threshold and below, nothing works normally.

Depending on the problem, could be something in the charging system wire connection points, and the reason that the battery is not being recharged/why a new battery may have the same problems after a few days as well.


Also, good habit to put the car on a battery tender if your not going to drive it for a few days.
