    i had left the keys in the ignition last night and had an almost completely dead battery this morning. i got a jump from a neighbor and power came back for a moment. i turned the key to start the vehicle, it clicked once, and then all power dropped - lights, dash, everything. I'm at a loss. im guessing a battery fuse, but have no clue where to find it. I checked the manual, but didn't see a ''battery fuse" Anybody have a clue as to what happen or what to look at to fix this?
    i had left the sunroof open and it did rain a bit last night. i'm not sure if that could have done some electrical short but i thought it may be pertinent.

    Battery might be dead beyond being able to be RE charged. If jumped to another vehicle, is everything operational? And welcome to the site!!

    Thanks for having me! unfortunately, no power whatsoever while it is jumped to another vehicle. power only came back when i first hooked them up and then power dropped after turning the key once.

    I would try swapping with a good battery, and see if the issue is the battery. Easiest thing first. If that's not it, I would check all connected tons, mKing sure connection surfaces are clean with good contact. Then, search for a clown fuse.

    If I suspect a severely discharged battery or battery with dead cells, try a jump without a direct connection to your battery.
