okay searched for this but got no results. my battery died on my car since it has been sitting in storage for a bit. at first when i tried to start it i heard the clicking but no juice. so i jumped it. started up pretty good ran it for a while to get the battery charged up. took it out for a little spin around the block drove fine. came home turned car off to clean rest of snow off it and went to turn it back on and i got nothing.....no clicking like its even trying to start and the theft light comes on and is flashing inside. jump the car again and it started fine and ran fine and then turned it off again and tried to turn it back on and same theft light again....any ideas?

maybe you didnt ride around enough to let your alternator charge up your battery enough. try to put it on a charger until fully charged. if it still does it you can goto autozone, advance, etc and test your battery and alternator for you.

It takes more than a ride around the block to recharge a very weak battery and yes the THEFT light will flash with low battery voltage.

Charge it with a battery charger and you should be good to go, this spring that is .
