My headlights were left on recently, killing my battery. When trying to jump it, it only stayed started for a few seconds. However, it died shortly after that and none of the lights are working. Even after taking my battery in for a four hour charge (which worked), and put it back in the car, still no lights and won't even turn over. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

Have you checked to make sure the main ground to the engine block is clean and tight? Also, check fuses under the hood. If I recall, there is a 100amp main fuse.

Let me know what you find.

Inspect and test all the fusible links and double check the battery condition and cable connections
