Engine will not crank over

Ken, the battery is new. Terminals are squeaky clean. I have even had it checked at Advanced Auto. I certain this problem exists with he immobilizing system. I actually got it started after shorting the two battery cables after someone suggested that the immobilizer circuit utilized a magnetic switch. At that time I though it was fix, but reoccurred the following day. All electrical is good after resetting the circuit by shorting the two battery cables together. I get head lights, interior lights etc. Once I turn the ignition switch to start, everything shuts down, dashboard goes nuts, and of course, no solenoid or starter action.
One thing to note: I can push start the car!

Ken, thanks for the help! I was convinced it was not a power problem, but I did as you suggested and inspected the positive battery cable. I found corrosion one the wire. I removed the terminal and soaked the cable ends ion a solution of water and baking soda all night Then wire brushed the exposed copper. Reassembled the battery calble to the terminal. Starts perfectly every time!
Thanks again
Tommy W.

Electrical problem
2007 Mazda 6 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 39000 miles

I was listening to the radio without the car running for about 15 minutes. When I went to start it, It was dead. All I heard was clicking. I may have also smelled something inside the car. I left it for a couple hours and when I tried again, it was slow to turn over but it started. I noticed that the only remaining problem while driving was that the passenger side window would not work from either door control. Also the automatic roll feature on the driver side window would not work even though it will roll down when I hold the button. All other windows work.
The positive battery cable connection had heavy corrosion. I cleaned it and found that, of the two strips wrapped around the terminal, one had broken. I put on a new terminal connection. After running the engine for minutes, my car will start again immediately without a problem but if it sits for 30 minutes or so, it will turn over slowly again. Can you narrow down what might be wrong please?

It was a bad battery. They said the meter wasn't even sensing a conection between terminals. The car is only 2.5 years old. Could the connection corrosion have caused it to die an early death? Thanks for the help.

The car will not start and the light inside the car want work and the radio will not come on like its has a lock down alarm mode

The car wont turn over when the key is turned. The code reader says U0100.
The inside lights work.

It ran just fine and I came home from work and when I went back out to try and crank it, it turned over with just a whinding sound but wouldnt crank. I checked the oil and it was bone dry! It had just had a oil change 3 weeks ago. So I wasnt even supposed to check it yet. I am buying it at a buyhere/payhere lot in lincolnton, nc and it was as is. The car has drove perfect until now. I have only had it less than 4 weeks and they wont do nothing about it. I need some kind of insight please!

How do you know if the engine is froze-up?

I own a mazda 6 that was stuck in 3rd gear and the car was puttering and just died when I try to start it everything comes on but the car doesn't start. The guage needles go up and down. Also the battery light flashed on and off 2 weeks ago and again earlier today.
