Thanks in advance.

will the motor turn over at all? if not, then it is your battery...even if your lights turn on and the car has some power, the battery may not have enough to crank the car...

i would use a battery charger if you have one available, some people have had problems when jumping the car from another vehicle...blown fuses, blown rear SAM, etc...
