When I insert the key into the ignition and turn it, there is no pressure or any noises. Car will not start. I tried to jumo the battery, but the only thing that happened was all the lights came on and the radio, even without the keys in the ingition. Any help?

Jumping can cause problems, voltage spikes can do harm to electronics. Without a jump, do any electricals work? Can you check for applicable trouble codes, can you communicate with computer? Battery has a full charge? Charging system ok?

When I first turned my car on, everything was on. But then after a few minutes everything turned off. That's when I jumped it and everything came back on again.

I asked several questions? Don't know which way to go unless you can do a little testing?
