Car will not start. Check the battery and its not the problem. Not the starter or any of the wires from the starter either. The car will take a jump and run fine just will not start from the ignition. What could be wrong?

so the key will turn the ignition on if the battery has jumper cables on it?

then its your battery lol. it would prob be the ignition switch, but since it starts with a jump, its not. Its the battery man.

jump it and take it to autozone, they will test the alternator for free.

if its doing what it does in the video i posted,then you know what to do. If it stays running. its the battery. Bring it to autozone to have it tested. If it passes, then you probably have an electrical issue. Where something is slowly draining the battery so it dies every night.
