I drove the car in to my parking space fine. Next day I try to turn it on, it wont even make a noise. I know it's not the battery because it's new, and everything works on the car (headlights, interior lights, dashboard etc.). About 2 days later I try to turn it on and like it wanted to start but the battery went low after a couple of try's. So I try to jumpstart it but again it won't even make a noise when I turn the key. If you guy's can help me out I would really appreciate it.

Get the battery load tested to check its internal condition and make sure its properly connected/cleaned and tight then retry-Don't work come on back. We still got a long way to go to nail this culprit.

Caddy battery cables corrode bad. Ck for greeness around the cables, just to help Razzy. Ck for power from the key to the starter, its a purple wire going into the intake

to me it sounds like a bad battery or cables, cause you cant jump it
