My car wont start anymore!!! I just had a problem with the battery and bought a new one. I hooked the new battery up and the voltages didn't look right.....I was going to get my alternator tested this weekend and I tried to start my car last night and the battery was completely dead. I jumped the car and the voltage meter went up but when I turned the key, the engine wouldn't turn and it just made a buzzing sound....It didn't even sound like the motor wanted to start!! What could be the problem?? Bad starter, ground wires to battery, what else??? I don't understand how the battery completely died out while just sitting there. Its not like I was running the car. It was a brand new battery and it died in the span of a week!!! Please help me out if you can.
