'05 won't jump

[dfcollin]

I'm hoping someone on here can give me a little help. I was out of town for a couple weeks, and my car wouldn't start this morning. I left my gps plugged in, so I thought that might have drained the battery. I hooked it up to my wife's car figuring I could just jump it, but no luck. When I hook it up, the radio and accessories all come on, so power is definitely coming through somewhere. When I go to start, there's no noise or anything, and afterward it'll tell me 'Engine Power Reduced'. Battery was just replaced a few months ago, so it shouldn't be that. Any idea what I can do to it?

Sounds like you need to charge your battery. Something probably drained it real low while you were away. Hook it up to your wife's car until it'll start. Then take it for an extended drive to charge the battery up, take cables with you in case it dies, if that happens your alternator isn't real happy or the battery has been damaged by discharging it so low. Get em both tested at O'Reilly's or Napa.
