But it seems like the most likely cause! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u got the car started and lights are still on need to check codes could be alternator issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u can check the voltage when u press the starter button if the volts drop to much it wont start that's your cranking amps on battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
