Its probably the battery, while it still has charge it not enough to crank. It take around 100+ amps to crank! Even high in the winter, while your radio is probably around ~5amps if it isn't cranked all the way up.

Doubtful, unless your engine seized, but you would have had signs, lights, sounds, warnings when you drove it last time.

So I would say no.

Could have a bad cell which would also affect amperage.


Srsly, try to jump it. It's the simplest thing to do at this point.
Ok thanks, gonna try the jump. As you can tell I'm a total noob, Tryna learn from you guys here lol.
