I woke up this morning to find out that my car had a dead battery. I probably left something on, not quite sure though. It was charged but now the electrical system does not want to work. Everything turns on but there's no sound in the radio, no click on signals and my moon room does not want to close. I have had a dead battery before but on other model/make vehicles and never had this problem. Was the problem caused by the dead battery or some electrical problem I don't know of. The radio was acting up before the battery went dead several days ago. Please help!! My car has less than 30k miles and I have had it less than a year. It was previously used.

Previous posts around this site about people losing radio, turn signal clicks, and other general electrical "oddities." Most have found that seating all the fuses does the trick. Many fuses are not fully seated on these cars. Check the fuse block under the hood, as well as the one on the passenger side of the waterfall dash (remove the panel to access). Hopefully, this simple fix will be all you need. Good luck!

How did you charge the battery? If you connect cables wrong, it may blow fuses. Very common on this car since the battery is in trunk. Check the related fuses to see if any are blown.

Sounds like you should be covered by warranty and I would see the dealer and perhaps not mention it being jumped started and just say it hardly started and mention the other problems
