My car is a diesel. It will not start. I have used a jump cables and the power box cables and it still will not start. What can this be?

When you say will no start I assume it will not turn over. It sounds like the battery is so bad that even a jump start will not help which is normal when this happened.

Here are guides to help us run a simple test to confirm the failure:

Please run some tests and get back to us.
