First of all thanks for the tips Klaus. I will try the check valve check next time I jump the car.

In reference to the second reply...The dashboard lights are on, it makes the natural clicking. I also have had a small problem where the lights wouldn't come on because the key was turned to the right too much and I had to barely turn it to the left so it would be in the right position and then the lights would work. Could this be the switch? The battery is approximately 6 months old. I've had it checked out a few times. I do not have a glove box cover to close, I just have the empty glove box itself. I am not familiar with the trunk light. I do not know what a trickle charge is I usually leave the cables on for a few minutes and then just go from there. Also I will try to look out for any positive/negative contact in the wire system etc.

Thanks for any response help. Steven
