Good afternoon,

Sounds like your battery is dead. You need to charge the battery back to 12.6 volts and have the charging system checked.

If it was the battery wouldn't it start with a jump? Try to have somebody jump me nothing ended up happening. No lights no anything and their cables were super hot by the time they took them off.

You to change the battery because charging a bad battery does not help. When you get a new battery, the key will come out.
