just my luck, help plz
my 8 isnt starting, i havent driven her in about 3 days. so I walk to her, hit my unlock button and nothin happens, try it again, car wont even blink the lights. So then i use the key to unlock her, get in, put the key in ignition, press clutch and she wont start, nothing happens, no noise nothing!.......my guess is somethin with the security system, since it wont unlock, it wont let me start then, or no??

Huge hole is huge
open hood and unplug the bat and hook it all back up, see if that works. If not, your bat might be bad, and you'll have to take it in to Autozone or something to test it.
I know one time that happened to me. I just unplugged the battery and hooked her back up and she was good to go!!!

thank you guys, god knows what I would do w/o this forum 
yeah u guys were right, jump started her n she ran fine........im curious tho, im on 65k miles, daily drive of 80 miles, do u think a new a battery at 65k is legit/expected? and do you have any suggestions for any particular battery brand?

check engine light isnt caused by the battery.
Mine would blink for a second then go off once it started; if it continues to blink as you drive, that means your car is misfiring.

Hardly...make sure you have a good charge in the battery...and drive it. It's unlikely that your battery died and your ignition just happened to pick that instant to totally screw up..........If it continues after you have driven it for a day or so...reset the ECU..and you will likely be OK. If the battery was weak your plugs might be crapped up a bit...and that should go away with a bit of a run

The only time you'll be screwed at this time is if you're car explodes....
