Need some help.
I’m kinda in panic mode. Started the car last night to move it to clean it. Started very slowly. Said oh well. Just got home to move it back to it slot and won’t start. Yes it probably is the battery but what is weird is I’m trying to jump the car with my truck it fires up sounds like **** and dies. Says reduced power. Thoughts?
Plus all the electronics work and won’t turn off either.

I’m using my phone searching isn’t working. Now rear hatch won’t open. Where’s the manual release again. Should I also take off the black connection cause car won’t turn off at all. All the electronics are on and won’t turn off.

1. Separate metal key from fob.
2. Look over rear license plate (under ledge) for key slot.
3. Insert key and turn.

All right. So I’m gonna go and get a battery after work. Once I put it in correctly my power to the car will come back. Meaning the warning light that says low power will go away? I was gonna take it in today to my dealer but since it won’t drive I can’t. Thanks in advance.hopefully it’s all it is. Sorry for so many questions. Just hate when stuff doesn’t work.

Mtb, since you are going to replace the battery yourself, it will help immensely if you watch this video, There are others as well.

I LOVE THIS SITE!!! All of you all are amazing. Got battery in and vroom. I was in panic mode and you all walked me off the ledge. Thanks everyone. That video was so great to follow.

Awesome that you were able to get the car up and running again by just replacing the battery.
