Car won't start and has very little electrical power. The car ran yesterday but not smoothly. It hesitated during acceleration and would occasionally hiccup while idling. The check engine light came on.
Today it acted like the battery was dead. Tried jumping it but same results. Since the 5 year battery has been in service for 6 years, I replaced it. Not that lucky.
When the key is in the ignition, the chime is very faint. The radio and dash lights are dead, power windows and roof don't operate. When the key is turned to start the engine, the time/temp LCD goes blank then comes back with a whacked out display, then resets to 0:00.
Where do I start on troubleshooting?
All suggestions are appreciated.
