Help! Won't start...

[MarkieG]

Backed into a spot at the gym and turned car off. Wanted to fix some misalignment in the space and attempted to turn on...nothing.

Troubleshooting so far...
My keyless entry remote, when pressed to unlock provides a very weak unlock beep but does not actuate the door locks.
I can turn the key to access and get power to radio. When I turn to start, vsc off and vsc Trac light up and the abs flashes.
The clock has reset itself as if battery was disconnected. Does this every time the key is turned to start.
There is corrosion on the battery + terminal but no tools to disconnect and clean.
I pressed the hazard lights (just to see if the work) and I get a rapid relay clicking from the dash.
Tried jump starting and did not have any affect on electrical iasues. No starter clicking or anything.
Fuses appear ok where visible. No smoke smell...
Unable to place ignition to on, press brake, and shift into any gear (towing will be exciting if needed)


Ideas?
(On my phone so sorry for any misspellings)

Get yourself a new battery and drive on.:cheer2:

Is your steering wheel locked? Either way, there is a little silver plug above the P on your shifter. Pop that out with a little screwdriver and push the button down you just exposed, that will allow you to move your shifter. The button you are pushing down is the "shift lock".

When a battery is too gone, you will be unable to jump it.

Sounds like battery.

Solved. Thank you both for your help here. First time I have had to replace a battery given those symptoms. Previous battery was replaced in 2012 when I purchased the vehicle.

Again, thank you both!

If the battery is low lights will work starter will crank, but the computer will not allow the fuel pump to push fuel to the injectors, and even as starter will still operate it will not start.
Just get a new battery at WalMart their batteries are tops IMHO.
