I have the car listed above with a 3.6 engine. It was misfiring and found out I needed to replace the coil but before I could I brought it home and parked it. The following morning when I got into car to start it it would not start. When I turn the key in the on position it does nothing. Wont start, doesn't make any sounds at all. When I hooked jumper cables to it all my inside lights all went on but when I try to start car while getting a jump it wont start or kick over.

Good morning,

This sounds like you have a bad battery. I would replace the battery and then try it and see.

You may have to reset the security system from the battery being disconnected.

Keep us updated with the results.
