2006 Monte Carlo Dead
#11
I have had this happen too. When my battery is completely dead the car won't even jump start, no lights no nothing. Total dead stick. After leaving the battery charger on for about 3 hours the car will start and come back to life

I tried to jump start with no success. But maybe I didn't let it charge long enough. It is like I am locked out. No power except the light comes on my phone charger. Nothing else shows life. I am locked in park and can't even move the car.
Thanks for the help. Any other answers would be great. Sorry if I am in the wrong section.

I've had a few instances where I've jumped the car and it wouldn't start on first or second try. Hook it up, start and leave the vehicle supplying power run for a bit, and see if that works. If not, leave a battery charger on it for a few hours, like Greg mentioned.

I would leave it on a charger for a while. If the battery is a few years old, it might be too far gone. You can always try dropping in a known good battery into the car. To make sure there's nothing else causing an issue.
Since your battery completely died. The computer will have to go through the relearn process also.

As others said, though, a battery tender is a good thing to have for issues like this, or for colder temperatures in winter killing older batteries overnight.
