I left interior light on over night and woke up to dead battery. Ended up buying a new one and my car stilll will not start. There is no power to keyless entry, dome lights, radio and no noise when I crank the key. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I know this is going to sound like a crock, but I have seen batteries sold new with a weak charge. If you have a volt meter, try checking battery voltage. The voltage should be about 12.4 volts. If you have jumper cables you can also try jumping the car, too. If it starts you may need to charge the new battery. If it does not start, let me know and we'll go from there. I'd be glad to help you.

The new battery has a charge. I thought about that too. I asked them to check it before I left with it. Today I pulled out fuses, checked cables and got a little bit to happen. Now I have dome light, power idicator light on the radio, horn and caution lights all work. Other than that, the car will not start. Also headlights and keyless entry are still not working. Any suggestions with that?

Triple check the connection at the positive terminal. Were they corroded before you changed the battery?
