Default Dead Batterry?

Woke up this morning and the car wouldnt start.. I can turn on all electrical items in the car - lights, steering wheel tilt, etc. but the battery dont seem to have enough power to fire up the engine. Any thoughts?

Dead Battery. Jump her and drive for 20-30 minutes to charge the battery fully. If your car is dead again tomorrow morning, you may need a new battery. I've got too many experiences with dead batteries. I used to have a dead battery every 3 days if I didn't drive the car (That's a different story).

Default Automatic Headlights

If you leave the headlight switch in the AUTO mode and don't drive the car for about a week, you will have a dead battery. Check your owner's manual.
