Simptoms:
-Turn Key, acts like no battery is installed (Doesn't even Click)
-Putting Key in while door is open, chime "flickers" or seems accelerated to every other half a second
-Sometimes clicking of what sounds like a Relay coming from under dash on the passanger side. (Found a Box labeled "Free CDC", seems like it comes from there)
I've checked all the fuzes and the battery ground cables... None are blown and the cables seem to be in order. Any thoughts on the cause?

Not really whining, more like a beeping noise...
The battery should be good... We've tried to jump start it (Should i just try to replace the battery?)

did the jumpstart make a difference?? ive had batteries so dead that a jump start doesnt even phase it, as far as replacing the battery, thats where i would start (or take it into an auto parts store and they should be able to test if for you)

Fixed it! Thx for the Help... It was the battery, I took it up to AutoZone and they ran there test and it said GOOD BATTERY... But I had them give me another "temp" battery to test it... The Car started and everything with the TEMP one so I guess the old one was just OLD or Something. Oh Well... Works Now! Thx Bunches
