I read this entire thread and am still not clear. I too have a dead battery--I had surgery which took me out of things for two months. When I went to start it up, the car was completely dead.

This is the second battery, an Interstate, which I replaced about two years ago. I have no idea why this one died so quickly though I wonder if the lojack is the culprit.

Of course I can not get into the battery compartment in the front because the hood is locked.

I looked for a cable but didn't find it. Of course I was looking in the garage without a flashlight so I 'll try again.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
